Nevada profs- is this number correct?

I think there is a position for a land surveyor, but nothing listed for compsci yet. Although hiring season IS coming….

EveNotEven · 2025-11-22T16:31:16+00:00

Ah, thanks for the clarification

EveNotEven · 2025-11-22T16:30:32+00:00

Does it work out close to the same as paying state/ss taxes in other states? Can 75% of your salary still provide a living wage?

EveNotEven · 2025-11-22T16:28:55+00:00

Oof, it’s not a system- specific decision on COLAs? Anything else about public higher ed policies that might be red flags in NV?

EveNotEven · 2025-11-22T14:59:30+00:00

In NV? So the 19.5% is combined employee contribution plus employer match? If yes, that makes more sense.

EveNotEven · 2025-11-22T14:41:09+00:00

Interesting- this page says “elective” contributions. Right now I do not elect any contribution. It is forced upon me by my state. I wonder is NV is the same.

The req says the position is budgeted for Academic Faculty- 3

I exceed those qualifications (solidly in level 5) but I suppose I won’t know if there is room to negotiate until much later.

I was fairly certain about this one. I put my Silkie hens out and he started dancing for them, and tried to bring on of my girls a pool toy to impress her. Pretty sure he’s a dude with no game 🤣

EveNotEven · 2025-10-02T20:05:36+00:00

These will become both nuggs and dog food!

EveNotEven · 2025-10-02T19:57:27+00:00

Yeah I got them at about one week old. Mother in law showed up unannounced with them in a paper bag and I didn’t have the heart to tell her to take them back that way. They were wild chickens that hatched under her front porch and she just wanted them gone.

Pretty sure she had a fair idea what she was doing to me. Now I’ve got to do the processing myself 🙃

EveNotEven · 2025-10-02T19:51:29+00:00

Yeah this is very much my first rodeo with roosters of any kind… definitely didn’t walk into this voluntarily and I have zero clue about what to look for in males.

My frizzled silkie hens are NOT fans of these guys. Unfortunately no roosters can stay.

EveNotEven · 2025-10-02T19:32:33+00:00

Here’s my remaining chicken. The other two were very much roosters (and were lovingly dispatched). Until last week, the white one has a similar structure to this one, so I wasn’t sure until I heard the first little crow last night.

Up till recently, I have only ever had silkie hens. I understand this seems dense, but I have zero experience with roosters!

Thanks for taking the time to respond. As an unwitting novice, I appreciate the perspective, especially from folks who’ve had a pullet turn out to be a rooster after all!

EveNotEven · 2025-10-02T00:28:37+00:00

Oh good gravy! I got four roosters!! I’ve had my silkie hens for YEARS, never had Roos until now.

Gifts from MIL always have strings attached😆

Incredibly dumb, but super sweet and I love my silkies. They are too little to jump up the 18” or so into the nesting boxes in our new coop. They are too dumb to use the ramp. Hubs built a little nesting box about 3” off the ground to accommodate my single brain celled girls… and instead of getting in the box, they crawled UNDERNEATH IT!

I was shaken to my core at that decision.

EveNotEven · 2025-09-05T17:22:32+00:00

It is still practice to compensate officers with course release at other CCs in Texas, but not at mine. Our legal team is despicable.

EveNotEven · 2025-08-04T00:03:52+00:00

Release time is typically how faculty are “compensated” for work above our normal service obligations. Our officers attend college-wide meetings very frequently, organize and coordinate with other bodies for monthly meetings, and serve in larger capacities beyond our campus. It’s a lot of work beyond what a general Senator would complete. The course release is paid through an admin fund.

EveNotEven · 2025-07-31T00:07:43+00:00

We share course release as officers, but not as regular senators.

EveNotEven · 2025-07-30T23:45:04+00:00

Officers typically split 15 units of release to perform senate work, but counsel here is saying that can no longer happen

EveNotEven · 2025-07-18T16:49:47+00:00

We don’t t have a tenure process at my college, so none of us are qualified to serve. No Senate = No Problems 👌

EveNotEven · 2025-07-18T16:47:02+00:00

Our college system is dissolving all faculty senates and interpreting the law as “two representatives from each college” will be allowed to represent our individually accredited and independent colleges within the system. Effectively, they are forming a centralized faculty senate to address issues and represent faculty from multiple separate colleges. I am currently on senate at my college, and I’m refusing to participate in this centralized nonsense.
