LETTER OF AGREEMENT #7:  UPPER LEVEL RELEASE FOR NON-REGULAR FACULTY

It is agreed that nothing in the establishment of the flat rate and related provisions, will reduce the previous entitlement for Upper Level release afforded to non-regular faculty.

Accordingly, Article 10.11.1 (a) will apply to non-regular faculty with a seven section or equivalent assignment which includes one or more upper level sections per academic year in that the non-regular faculty member will be paid for the eighth section or equivalent.
