EVALUATING FACULTY ASSIGNMENTS AGAINST A CONSISTENT SET OF CRITERIA IS ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT IN THE COMPREHENSIVE JUNIOR COLLEGE. THE FACULTY ASSOCIATION OF ARIZONA WESTERN COLLEGE DEVELOPED AN INDEX SYSTEM, IN WHICH THE NORMAL TEACHING EFFORT IS RATED AT 1.000 POINT EACH SEMESTER, OR 2.000 IN A 2-SEMESTER SCHOOL YEAR. FACTORS FOR EQUATING FACULTY EFFORTS ARE NUMBER OF COURSE PREPARATIONS, STUDENT CONTACT HOURS, CLASS CONTENT HOURS, AND CREDIT FOR ASSIGNED DUTIES OTHER THAN TEACHING (E.G., DRAMA, ATHLETICS, DIVISION CHAIRMANSHIP, EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE, AND FRESHMEN COMPOSITION CONFERENCES). INSTRUCTORS SHOULD RECEIVE ADDITIONAL REMUNERATION FOR OVERLOADS, ACCORDING TO A PREDETERMINED RATIO. FACTORS AND INDEX WEIGHT VALUES ARE PROVIDED IN THE DOCUMENT. (WO)
