• 5% of salary.
  • 2400 per course, commensurate with adjunct pay per class at sister institutions. Why would I overload here if I need money and I can adjunct elsewhere that pays better? I know many colleagues who feel (and do) similarly.
  • 10% of gross.
  • Over 12 credits.
  • Same as pay for summer school.
  • No salary differential between teaching grad & undergrad courses, and I teach both. 1000/credit hour, not a % based on current salary, which disproportionately increases higher salaries.
  • 0, overload should not happen.
  • 1/8th of their annual salary.

QUESTION 25: How much per summer course do you think faculty should be compensated?

Thirty-seven of the 67 faculty members (55.2%) responded with actual dollar amounts per course or per credit hour. Twenty-three of the 67 total faculty members (34.5%) declined to respond.

The mean recommended compensation for teaching a summer course was $3,534. The median was slightly lower at $3,000. The modal amount was also $3,000 per course. Figure 6 presents the distribution of these responses.
