Wow, people have a choice and can then get money for that? Great. I don't think I live in that world ha. We do get release time, but I don't think I could get cash for it directly. Gary
>>> "Wuensch, Karl L" <[email protected]> 1/19/2009 12:55 PM >>> Last Spring I was offered a course release for some administrative work. I did not want to give up either of my two courses (I already had two course releases for research), so I said give me the money instead. I tried to talk them into giving me an extra 25% pay (since a "full" load is four courses), but that is not how it works. They agreed to give me what it would cost to hire a part-time person to teach a course, and that is $5,000 or less. Cheers, Karl W. -----Original Message----- From: Bryan K.

If any of you are willing to share that information with me, I'd greatly appreciate it. Please email me off-list at: [email protected] I hope 2009 has started off well for each of you...
