Same as before
I am having a jolly fun ongoing situation regarding hours, I do some part time lecturing on a photographic course at Uni, our hours are released on a contract, this year there has been an increase in students so on this particular course I'm teaching two groups instead of the one class, however HR seem to think that because there were only 30 students on the course last year then the same can apply this year even though there are about 40 (when they show up).

Unless it is resolved I won't have time to finish teaching the course or mark the work, wonder how they'll sort that out.

The other issue is that they seem to insist on a simple matter of having more in the class, whilst I'm teaching photoshop or lightroom I try to point out there are only 28 machines in the room and every year have to tell students that they can't sit in on a class due to number. Ok so they are normally half an hour late for a lesson in the first place and after a couple of weeks stop showing up which actually negates the problem.

write to the dean, and offer your services for the specified time in your contract, then outlay to the 12 students there are no longer facilities to conduct their studies, and they should speak to their faculty manager.

I would however suggest writing this for them so they can sign and then you hand in the protest.

That or MTFU
