FACULTY ASSOCIATION SPONSORS PETTION FOR PART TIME OFFICE HOURS

            The Pasadena City College Faculty Association is sponsoring two petitions asking that the Administration provide paid office hours for the part time faculty.  One Petition is signed by Full Time Faculty and one petition is coming from the students of PCC.  The petitions say:

Resolve that the Full Time Faculty (or the Students of Pasadena City College) calls upon the Administration and the Board of Trustees of Pasadena City College to immediately implement a program that will provide Part Time Faculty with paid consultation time with their students.

60% RULE HAS CHANGED—A LITTLE

NEW 67% RULE WILL BENEFIT PART-TIME FOREIGN LANGUAGE , MATH, AND ESL FACULTY

The California Legislature passed and the Governor signed on July 11 AB591. The new law changes the old 60% Rule by raising the maximum percentage of a full time load that a part time faculty member can work from 60% to 67%. The law will go into effect on January 1, 2009. This change most immediately affects faculty teaching 5 hour classes. With the new rule, these instructors will be able to teach two classes at the same college without exceeding their maximum allowed teaching load. Many foreign language, mathematics, and ESL instructors who teach 5 hour classes will benefit from this change.  Some part-time counselors and librarians will be able to work more hours as well.
