“We pretty much know there’s a partial workload for at least two of the three people who have been given notice and we’ve got four months to find a full load,” said George Davison, secretary-treasurer of the Faculty Association of CNC. Faculty members with roughly two-thirds of a workload are considered full-time and will retain their employment benefits. Davison said the affected instructors will try to top up their workload by replacing instructors who retire, go on sick leave or choose to take course reductions. The college and the faculty association began negotiating staffing levels in October and Davison says those discussions resulted in fewer reductions than were first proposed.
