They are carrying a great deal of the load and many are processing these ridiculous payments while trying to keep their heads above water while watching a real lack of accountability in key areas. Beyond that, how about our fellow part time faculty colleagues? It naturally follows that since the available coverage is primarily absorbed by a few full time counselors, how about the rest of the part time counselors asking for what is left behind and standing in lines much like the students they serve? How are students served by having a few professionals when they could have access to many credentialed professionals with varying backgrounds, experience and ethnicity? While the argument will always hold that the demand for counselor time is huge and their demand is rarely recognized, why must it be a select full time few over and over again? How does this serve our students? Why do we continue to pretend it does? When is there accountability and oversight?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16908834.post-54546080515747430002015-10-23T14:33:40.621-07:002015-10-23T14:33:40.621-07:00Meanwhile, the poor classified who are trying to d...Meanwhile, the poor classified who are trying to deal with the abomination called WORKDAY catch hell if they are struggling to get their work done in 8 hours and require overtime. Supposedly, the campus rule from the Administration is No overtime (another "rule" from the Administration is that you MUST take a one-hour lunch period and cannot take 1/2 an hour.

Its two to two and a half months of summer counseling forty hour weeks and that is straight overtime. Many of you do a class or two or three in the summer. Its important that you add up the hours that two or two and a half months can provide. Beyond their counseling schedules during the regular term, they can wrap as much overtime as possible into their schedules. While it is contractual, it seems abuse of the intent of the funds for student services. While it is contractual, why is okay to put funds in that direction while students wait in long lines for just a few classified employees to serve them. While it is contractual, why is it okay for students to lack tutorial funding as the year ends simply because they dedicated a great deal of funds to counseling overtime. While it is contractual, its an area we faculty (teaching and non teaching) need to review if we are to carry any credibility as we serve and teach our students.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16908834.post-87688705782419547902015-10-23T11:57:07.378-07:002015-10-23T11:57:07.378-07:00I agree with Grannie.
