I'm (good) freaking out- UGH NEVERMIND (update in replies)

[ProfessorArtNerd]

As you might remember, I was supposed to have a temporary full time assignment this semester but it was turned down. I was super disappointed.

But the chick who was hired for two classes totally flaked! She has two MWF sections that I could very easily take over.

My department head is begging right now for a decision reversal. Ahhhh! Hit me!

[RamblingRose]

WTF. That is ridiculous.

[DaisyCakes]

Total bullshit. I'm sorry.

[indianchica]

Even if you're not FT, can you still try to take over those two MWF classes? Or does that put you at too high of a course load to be adjunct?

Oops I didn't read it all before replying. I'm sorry, ugh that sucks.

What's a VL? And why wouldn't they consider you as full time??

VL means Visiting Lecturer. It's a one-semester full time appointment. I've done it twice already, each time as a sabbatical replacement. There are theee full time art history profs, all have gone out on sabbatical the last three spring semesters. They could theoretically have me full time as well- there are enough classes to go around but part timers are preferred by admin
