If a contingency contract is offered by May 1 and accepted by the FACULTY MEMBER by May 15, the following conditions shall apply:

1. The University may cancel the contract at any time before the second class meeting if the number of students is insufficient to cover the direct and indirect costs to the University.

C. The amount of compensation for teaching summer school courses in 2007, 2008, 2009,

and 2010 shall be based on the current practices and shall be paid based upon the following:

1. Compensation for 2007 summer employment shall be paid based upon the Fall 1999 salary schedule (Appendix F) to be adjusted to be consistent with the Fall 2001 salary schedule and excluding any chairperson stipend, applied to the FACULTY MEMBER’S current rank and step.
