Directors of Summer Sessions
ASCSA Policy on Spouses and Partners/Joint Directorships

I. Spouses/Partners and dependents Spouses and partners of Summer Session directors are welcome at the School and may share in the opportunity of participating in the Summer Session.  Spouses/partners may share with the Summer Session Director whatever housing arrangements are provided by the School in Loring Hall or on the School campus.  Spouses/partners may also accompany the group on trips sharing a room with the session director.  Dependents can sometimes be accommodated at the School. Meals at Loring Hall for spouses will be offered at one-half the senior meal rate and dependents will be offered at one-half the student rate.  Spouses and dependents are responsible for their own meals on the School trips. The School will not offer transportation for spouses/partners and dependents to and from Greece.  In order to avoid distractions to participants and directors, children under the age of 13 may not travel on overnight trips. 

II. Joint Directorships The School allows for joint applications for the directorships of the Summer Sessions. Decisions regarding dual appointments must be made at the time of application.  Requests to add a joint director after the initial appointments have been made will not be approved.  If a joint directorship is awarded, the two directors would share one salary.  If one applicant is at a higher academic rank, then both would receive one-half of the higher stipend.  The School will cover one-half of the travel expenses for each co-director to Greece.  The School will offer full room and board to both co-directors while at the school and on trips. In the case when co-directors are not sharing a room, the added expense will be taken in consideration by the Committee on Summer Sessions in consultation with the Managing Committee Chair and the Budget Director. Spouses and dependents of co-directors may not be accommodated because of space limitations.
