- Summary:
-
An overview is provided of issues related to the use of part-time faculty in community colleges in California and elsewhere in the nation. First, background information is provided on the major relevant issues. This section: (1) lists the teaching functions which are best carried out by full-time instructors as argued by those who favor employing more full-time faculty; (2) reviews current California policy, which leaves almost all decisions on the use and support of part-time faculty to the local community colleges within a statutory limit restricting districts to using part-time faculty to teach no more than 30% of a district's workload; (3) provides an overview of the characteristics of part-time faculty as a group; and (4) offers a summary of existing statewide policies on the use and support of part-time faculty. The next section contrasts the policy proposals put forth in recent years by the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, the Master Plan Review Commission, the Joint Legislative Committee on the Master Plan, and the Assembly Bill 3409 Task Force on Community College Faculty and Administrator Qualifications, Hiring, Evaluation and Retention. After presenting the major provisions of Assembly Bill 1725 on part-time faculty and explaining their intent, the paper discusses the various policy options in terms of status distinctions, use, workload, support, evaluation, compensation, and governance issues.
