All adjunct faculty may register now for Fall 2011 credit classes. They do not need to wait for the “one week prior to semester” timeframe.

To obtain their 1/3 tuition waiver, adjunct faculty may download the form Partial Tuition Waiver for Part Time Faculty for Credit Classes  by logging into http://inside.cod.edu. The form is filed with H/R’s forms; please read and follow the instructions included on the form carefully. Questions can be directed to H/R.

Going forward, the timeframe for class registration for all employees paying 1/3 tuition is the same. For Spring 2012, it will be 40 days before the beginning of the semester. The Spring calendar will be published in a schedule to be sent out by Registration at a later date.

On the relationship between FT & PT faculty make-up and educational quality.

Legislation that would reduce pension benefits for all participants in the SURS system (FT, PT, CODAA, and non-CODAA alike) is now in play in the IL General Assembly as of Thursday May 26, 2011.

Among the provisions of SB 512:

• Forcing SURS members to pay hundreds, if not thousands, more into their pensions each year.
• Establishing 67 as the retirement age.
• Making members of SURS, who do not qualify for social security, rely on risky 401K retirement investment accounts for their retirement savings.
