I’d like for leadership to acknowledge that faculty responsibilities have increased significantly over the past decade, while the required teaching load has remained at 15 credits per semester. Would it be possible to seriously consider reducing the full-time teaching load to 12 credits per semester without adding additional administrative requirements to better reflect current faculty workload?

In previous semesters, the college would put pressure on full-time faculty to teach overloads because they couldn't find adjuncts to teach them because the pay was terrible. It's better now because they raised the pay 1-2 years ago, so we are being asked less. Faculty shouldn't feel pressured to work overtime when it's less than 50% of regular rate on our contract. For context, my father was an uneducated construction worker. When he worked over time, he got 1.5 times his hourly rate.

The college keeps on asking for faculty's hourly schedule, even though we are not hourly employees. We are required to teach at specific times and office hours at specific times. The rest of it is flex time. However, administration keeps on asking for hourly availability. This is not normal at other institutions.

CO Online is killing our programs. How are we supposed to evaluate our programs and outcomes if our students are taking classes with people from different colleges? If they have an issue with a professor I have no way of helping them. I understand the idea, but in practice it’s killing our community colleges. We need to respond to our specific needs of our community.
