e. If the new Chair is elected or appointed before January 1, the term of this Chair shall extend two and one-half (2 1/2) years past that January to June 30. If the new Chair is elected or appointed after January 1, the term of this Chair shall extend three and one-half (3 1/2) years past that January 1 to June 30. 10.8 Compensation 1. Reassigned Time a. Reassigned time for duties as Department Chair will be assigned in multiples of three (3) credits for the academic year. Each Department Chair will receive up to twenty-four (24) credits of reassigned time per academic year. The appropriate level of reassigned time will be determined by a Department Chair point system evaluation and an audit of departmental responsibilities. Changes to the assignment cannot be made without a formal departmental re-evaluation and will occur annually, unless extraordinary circumstances arise. b. In some departments, it may be appropriate for additional faculty to assist with Department Chair duties. In such cases, the Dean may appropriate a portion of the reassigned time to an additional faculty member in recognition of the shared effort. The point system will be based on broad indicators of Department Chair responsibility common to all departments. Other factors may be considered in the audit. c. The data and formula used to calculate a Department Chair’s reassigned time will be provided by Institutional Research, confirmed by the office of the Vice President of Academic Affairs and the Dean, and shared with the Department Chair by the Dean in writing prior to the beginning of the academic year.
