Article 26.4.5, Excluding a Student Evaluation from Consideration on a Performance Evaluation.
Contract: 26.4.5. […] At their option, adjunct faculty members who teach at least nine (9) courses may choose to exclude one (1) course from the evaluations used in the evaluation.
Example of the exclusion option for an 8th quarter evaluation:
An adjunct taught 3 courses in Fall (quarter 6), 3 courses in Winter (quarter 7), and 3 courses in Spring (quarter 8). They have met the teaching threshold of at least 9 courses in an academic year. They ask to exclude 1 Spring course from their performance evaluation. Thus, their 8th quarter performance evaluation will include evals from all 3 Fall courses (quarter 6), all 3 Winter courses (quarter 7), but only 2 Spring courses (quarter 8).
Contract: 26.5.3. […] At their option, adjunct faculty members who teach at least nine (9) courses may choose to exclude one (1) course from the course evaluations used in the performance evaluation.
Example of the exclusion option in a 3-year evaluation (this example is for Year 1):
It is Year 1. An adjunct taught 3 classes in Fall, 3 classes in Winter, and 3 classes in Spring. They have met the teaching threshold of at least 9 courses per year. They ask their chair to remove 1 course–Spring’s History 148–from Year 1’s evals.
The chair will now randomly select 1 out of 3 courses available for Fall. They will randomly select 1 out of 3 courses available for Winter. They will randomly select 1 out of only 2 courses available for Spring. Although the adjunct taught 3 courses in Spring, only 2 courses are available because they asked to remove Spring’s History 148 from consideration.
