2) Search within document for your name. The number corresponding to your name indicates the Weighted Teaching Units (WTU’s or “units”) to which you are entitled within a given department over the course of a given academic year. If you have positions in multiple departments, search for your name as many times as necessary. If you believe that there is an error in the recording of your total WTU’s, please contact your CFA rep right away.
3) The color-coded categories in which your WTU numbers are listed provide important information about preference for work order. Here’s what they mean:
a. First preference for work order among lecturers (that is, after tenured and tenure-track faculty have received their appointments) goes to lecturers with Full-time 3-Year Appointments. (The pink column on the chart.)
b. Second preference for work order among lecturers goes to lecturers with 3-Year Appointments with Part-Time Entitlements. (The yellow column on the chart.)
c. Third preference for work order among lecturers goes to lecturers on the Re-Employment List. (The green column on the chart.)
d. Fourth preference for work order among lecturers goes to lecturers who are given Careful Consideration and who have an entitlement. (The blue column on the chart.)
e. Fifth preference for work order among lecturers goes to lecturers who are given Careful Consideration and who do not have an entitlement. (The purple column on the chart.)
4) Making sense of symbols and notations:
– If you see a lowercase “x” in a column alongside your name, it means you do not have a time base entitlement, even though you do have preference for the available work in which you are qualified.
