A major concern within the realm of course assignments is which faculty members get to develop and teach the courses. All DE courses should be taught by qualified bargaining unit faculty in the local. In addition to protecting bargaining unit work, this better ensures quality DE courses for students, who deserve to have the same well-established and knowledgeable faculty members that they would have in equivalent on-campus courses. This also protects bargaining unit members from the importing of CD-ROM and other “canned curriculum” courses, which are rejected by faculty as a threat to bargaining unit work.
