Missing Classes Due to Illness
If an adjunct faculty member is unable to meet classes due to illness or injury, he/she is responsible for providing the instruction that has been missed. If the adjunct has to miss more that one week of an eight-week class or two weeks of a sixteen-week class, the program director will arrange to have the adjunct’s classes covered by either a member of the department or by a part-time instructor. Full financial compensation shall be awarded to any faculty member who covers the classes of a colleague whose absence due to illness or injury exceeds the specified time frames. Adjunct faculty who cannot resume their duties at the end of the specified timeframes will have their contracts terminated and will not be paid for the remainder of the session/semester.
