Graduate Supervision Credits Extended to MRPs

The YUFA side of the Joint Committee for the Administration of the Agreement (JCOAA) has agreed to resolve the dispute over credit for graduate supervision.

The employer agrees to credit supervisors of MRPs at a rate equal to that stipulated in Appendix O, paragraph 1 for the term of the 2001-2003 Collective Agreement. This credit is without prejudice to the administration of Appendix O in the renewal collective agreement. Specifically, in the absence of language explicitly indicating otherwise, MRPs will receive supervision credit under paragraph 2 (other formal supervisory activities).

Appendix 'O' of our current collective agreement entitled a "Letter of Understanding Regarding Graduate Supervision," states that:

"Faculty members who are appointed to a unit with a "normal teaching load" of 3.0 FCE's per year shall receive credit for graduate supervision as follows:

  1. Principal supervisors of at least one Masters student in the first 2 years of his or her program or PhD student in the first 6 years of his or her program shall receive a 0.125 FCE credit per year for each such year of principal supervision (to be credited on a 'slip year' basis)."

  2. Faculty members who are actively involved in other formal supervisory activity of at least one Masters student in the first 2 years of his or her program or PhD student in the first 6 years of his or her program shall receive a 0.125 FCE credit per year for each such year of other formal supervisory activity (to be credited on a 'slip year' basis)

  3. The 0.125 credit referred to in (b) above applies to a principal supervisor to whom (a) above applies if that faculty member, in addition to that principal supervision, also does other formal supervisory activity for at least one other student as per (b) above, or more than one principal supervision.

The maximum credit per year pursuant to the above is 0.25 FCE.

Note: No faculty member will have his or her current FCE credit for graduate supervision diminished as a result of this Letter of Understanding.
