Faculty in Residence Compensation

LEARNING CONTENT 

Faculty teaching abroad on programs in residence will receive compensation that is built into the program budget comprised of 3 different areas:   

1. Course Instruction - faculty will receive compensation for teaching the proposed course. In line with offering an adjunct or additional course on campus, a $4,000 stipend will be offered PER COURSE. (If two faculty are team teaching a 3-credit course, they will each receive half of this stipend.)  

 2. Program Coordination – faculty will receive an additional stipend for program coordination, based on length of the program, that is linked to UP Assistant Hall Director salaries, based on 20 hours per week, estimated time outside of the classroom, as classroom contact hours – and prep - as classroom contact hours should technically be included in the faculty teaching stipend.

• 2 weeks: $650
• 4 weeks: $1,270
• 6 weeks: $1,890   

 3. Travel/Living Expenses – Travel and living expenses to house the faculty-in-residence will be included as part of the program budget. Some meals may also be included in the budget. 

Travel Expenses:    

For all faculty and staff traveling to lead programs, regardless of whether they are on a 9- or 12-month contract:    

• All travel costs - airfare & 1 bag (if not included) - least cost (within reason) coach, return through PDX. Taxi/public transportation (lowest, reasonable means) - to/from airport (PDX & overseas), as well as on the ground transportation required for the program.   
• Meal & Incidentals per diem: Up to 50% of the Department of State Meals and Incidentals Rate may be available to help offset cost of living differences from the overseas location to the cost of living in Portland.  The final daily rate will be discussed prior to finalizing the budget. Any program meals, breakfast is included in housing, the total amount will be pro-rated: dinner is 45% of total, breakfast and lunch is 22.5% of total. Large group meals will be accounted in the total per diem stipend as well. (If a program requires a higher per diem rate, based on need, this could then be negotiated. If self-catering is available, the rate will be lower.)   
• Housing for Faculty leader included - cost of housing any dependents will need to be covered separately by faculty (if faculty needs a larger apartment, or if a provider charges per person, vs per apartment, etc.). (If the program offers housing that includes meals, those meals would be deducted from the total per diem stipend. If a faculty member opted to find alternate housing from what is provided, faculty would only receive a housing allowance equal to the budgeted/provided amount, and the original meal per diem would not be adjusted.) If faculty petitions to seek alternate housing when satisfactory housing is available and already accounted for (e. Salzburg), the entire cost for the alternate housing would be borne by that faculty member. Limited meal and lodging expenses prior to the arrival of the students on the program are allowed in cases where arrangements need to be made on site, in advance, but must be approved by the Study Abroad office prior to finalizing the program fee.     
• All activities, tours, and required local transportation for program leaders is included in the budget.   

 Reimbursements will not be paid for any costs incurred for visiting family members or other persons not identified within the budget created in advance for the program.
