Delaware State has begun scheduling phone interviews. I know they were hiring for 3 positions in the Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice--1 soc and two CJ--but am not sure which they were calling me about (I declined the interview), so I'm sorry I don't have more information than that.

May I ask why you declined your phone interview with Delaware State?
If there is anything you know about the program, the teaching load, or the location, I would be grateful for the information.
Thanks!

What what I hear -- its a 4/4 -- and sometimes you have to teach a course overload making it a 5/5.

Thanks! Sure--I declined the phone interview because I've already accepted a job. I've not heard anything negative about the program, etc. |

Thank you both!
I have never heard of a 5/5 load but for at community colleges.

Unfortunately a 5/5 load is becoming not COMMON at non-community colleges, but not uncommon either. I know someone who got a job at a small school with a 4/5 load.

I can't get over the 5/5 load, just goes to show how under-funded and under-resourced public HBCUs are

Would an overload be mandatory, or optional in a situation like this? I would be surprised if Del State--or anywhere else that has more than a 4/4 load (which is already very heavy)--expects junior faculty to take on course overloads. And, to the poster above, please identify what your acronym stands for. If anyone has insider information about the program, the institution, or the area, please share it.  |

I've never heard the term "course overload." What is it? Obviously it means taking on extra courses, but why does it happen?

It usually happens because courses are overenrolled and they need to add another section. Its called "overload" because you get paid extra for it. At my LAC, I get an extra $2500 for a standard 16 week course. My contract states I'll teach X amount of contact hours per year, and if I go over that, I get more $$ |
