Classification Summary

The Program Director is a 12-month faculty position with dual responsibilities encompassing both teaching and administrative functions. Faculty on 12-month contracts are required to teach a minimum of 35 credit hours. It is acknowledged that the roles and responsibilities of a Program Director require significant activities outside of the classroom (program management, coordination, and leadership responsibilities). To meet the needs of these responsibilities, the Program Director is granted 17 hours of release time from teaching load to complete these tasks.

The full-time faculty at Jefferson College generally have a workweek of 35-40 hours, of which 15 hours are scheduled for instruction, and 10 hours are scheduled for office hours. Given the diversity of faculty schedules (clinicals, laboratories, rehearsals, studios, etc.) which require additional contact hours, and the variety of institutional commitments beyond the 25 scheduled hours, it is clearly understood by all parties that faculty work activities exceed the scheduled hours, and that some of these additional hours are performed both on and off campus.

In addition, all parties recognize that a flexible five-day workweek (5 of 7 days) expectation is reasonable. Modification to the five-day workweek for faculty with unusual regular day and night class schedules will require written approval of the President.
