Teaching faculty; minimum teaching hours per week.
1240.341 Teaching faculty; minimum teaching hours per week.--Each full-time member of the teaching faculty at any institution under the supervision of the State Board of Community Colleges of the Department of Education who is paid wholly from funds appropriated from the state community college program fund shall teach a minimum of 15 classroom contact hours per week at such institution. However, the required classroom contact hours per week may be reduced upon approval of the president of the institution in direct proportion to specific duties and responsibilities assigned the faculty member by his or her departmental chair or other appropriate college administrator. Such specific duties may include specific research duties, specific duties associated with developing television, video tape, or other specifically assigned innovative teaching techniques or devices, or assigned responsibility for off-campus student internship or work-study programs. A "classroom contact hour" consists of a regularly scheduled classroom activity of not less than 50 minutes in a course of instruction which has been approved by the board of trustees of the community college. Any full-time faculty member who is paid partly from state community college program funds and partly from other funds or appropriations shall teach a minimum number of classroom contact hours per week in such proportion to 15 classroom contact hours as his or her salary paid from state community college program funds bears to his or her total salary.
