Could having a nine-month appointment affect a faculty member’s tuition waiver benefits?
Under the contract, full-time faculty members are entitled to tuition waivers for up to 30 credits per year, with years being defined as the period beginning with the first day of fall semester and ending the day before the succeeding fall semester. Benefits do not carry forward from year to year. For those nine-month faculty whose appointments straddle two years for purposes of tuition waiver benefits, it is not clear how MnSCU contends tuition waiver credits should be allocated between the relevant years, or how long faculty will have to use their tuition waiver benefits. Other Scheduling/Deadline Issues How are deadline and scheduling issues affected by nine-month appointments? The current schedules for evaluation of faculty for non-renewal, promotion, tenure and sabbatical leaves are all based on the academic year calendar. Similarly deadlines for applications and the commencement of early separation incentive benefits, phased retirement, and annuitant employment benefits are based
