Even so, the department now has twenty adjunct faculty who are teaching four sections of composition, and a few others who are teaching five sections. We have hired twenty-four new faculty in the last ten years. Doyle suggested that the full department discuss this matter. We went to see him as individuals. Yes, and that policy was inherited from former department chair Walt Hodges.
Seniority is an appropriate consideration in the allocation of offices.
I haven't used seniority as a criterion in scheduling, but have been trying to create a balance. I won't take away a class if someone already has it. Felnagle then asked if Sisulak, Kyle, or Della-Penta would explain the nature of their concern regarding scheduling and seniority. Out of the twelve sections of ENH110 offered, only five sections made. Her point is that there aren't enough sections of courses other than composition for each full-time faculty in the department to offer two sections.
