Evidence of Compliance:

The Department Chair is a 40% administrative, 60% teaching appointment. The administrative position is a 12-month appointment due to Department program work that is needed during the summer. The teaching position is a 9-month appointment. The chair is present full-time during the nine-month academic year with a 40%/60% split in responsibilities between administrative and instructional duties. During the summer, the Department Chair’s 40% administrative appointment continues, resulting in an increase to the Department Chair’s annual salary equivalent to 40% for three months.

The Department Chair’s administrative assigned time and salary augmentation are consistent with prevailing practice for departments of comparable size in the College (specifically, Communicative Disorders, Physical Therapy, and Recreation and Leisure Studies are comparable in faculty utilization).
