If I hold an administrative position, such as director or co-ordinator, am I eligible for a stipend and / or release time?
First, look at Appendix P, which sets forth the stipends and minimum release time entitlements for each category of administrator (e.g., Chair of large department, Director of small graduate program, Head of Frost Library). To see the July 2001 PDF document identifying ‘small’, ‘medium’, and ‘large’ units, click here. In the 2009 Collective Agreement, it was decided that this document was to be reviewed in JCOAA. If Appendix P lists your position, you’re entitled. Otherwise, if an analogous position is on the list, then you may be eligible and should approach your Dean / Principal / University Librarian.
