What does the contract say about Summer quarter teaching?
The AAUP/UC contract does not address summer teaching assignment, but does address pay. Decisions about assignment of summer teaching are at the discretion of the unit head and/or the dean. With regard to pay, Article 34.4 of the contract specifies that the UC may not reduce the summer pay schedule. The minimum pay schedule in effect is that described in the summer school document of the now-disbanded College of Evening and Continuing Education. Click here for a copy of these guidelines. The AAUP encourages faculty to work through a shared governance committee at the unit level to establish written procedures for summer teaching assignments. It is best if those procedures are voted on at a meeting of the unit faculty and subsequently approved by the unit head and/or dean.
