SUMMER TEACHING

Summer teaching, when available, will be assigned in accordance with the needs of the summer program and with the fit between faculty specialization and the courses which need to be offered. Normally, no faculty member will be invited to teach in summer session who did not receive at least a satisfactory rating for teaching on the most recent annual or triennial faculty evaluation. When there are fewer summer courses than faculty members who seek summer teaching and when the faculty members seeking summer employment are equally qualified in terms of their areas of specialization and appropriateness for the courses, department chairs will assign the courses by rotation, so that appropriately qualified faculty members who do not teach one summer will have an opportunity to do so in another summer. The rotation system may be bypassed in order to further University objectives such as special institutes, distance education, etc.
