Richard, Summer salaries at NKU are 3% of 9-month base per credit hr. Thus, if one teaches a 3 credit hr. course, it is 9%. If one teaches two courses (3 cr. hrs. each), it is 18% of one's base. However, there is also a dollar amount cap that cannot be exceeded and that is generally somewhere around 18% of a high end associate prof. salary. So, a full prof. teaching two courses would not likely receive 18% of his/her base. Generally, most folks that wish to teach can teach one course. In psychology, our courses are in demand (not so for other disciplines) and enrollment often allows our folks to teach two courses if they wish. I don't know of anyone teaching more than two. If your percentages are per course, they seem very generous even at 14% (less so if they include a full 12 cr. hr course load). Faculty teaching during the summer receive only salary, no other benefits (e.g. TIAA/CREF). Our institution is on semester hours. NKU is a comprehensive regional university located in the Cincinnati metropolitan area. Our enrollment is now around 13,000. George -- George D.
