H Doctor's degree in the teaching or directly related field. EPCC Academic Year Faculty Compensation Guidelines 1998-1999. Individuals meeting the minimum educational and experience requirements will be placed at minimum entry of the grade, step one. For placement above the minimum of the grade, credit for experience beyond the minimum requirements are given for directly related work experience, college teaching, high school teaching, and other specifically related college or professional experience depending upon the discipline. This is true not only at EPCC but throughout the nation.
Some community colleges pay less per semester hour for courses with laboratories.
Unlike some peer colleges, EPCC does not base its rate of pay for part-time faculty on qualifications of staff. EPCC pays a flat rate for lecture classes in credit programs for all part-time faculty regardless of their advance degrees or experience. Information obtained from Collin County Community College Survey conducted August 1999. EPCC part-time faculty are also not compensated fairly with regard to benefits. Part-time faculty representatives told the review team that they are not recognized for their contribution to the college.
