CALIFORNIA EDUCATIONAL CODE SECTIONS RELATED TO PART TIME ISSUES
(SEPT. 2008)
Part time faculty should be aware of the specific provisions for part time faculty in the California Educational Code. We have included several of the most important sections below. If you feel that your department is not following these rules, please notify the Faculty Association at 626-585-7261, or email the Association at facultyassociation@gmail.com.
1. NOT YET IN CODE, BUT AS OF JANUARY 1, 2009, PART TIME FACULTY CAN WORK UP TO 67% OF A FULL TIME LOAD.
2. ANCILLARY WORK:
87604. (b) Service as a substitute on a day-to-day basis by persons employed under this section shall not be used for purposes of calculating eligibility for contract or regular status. (c) (1) Service in professional ancillary activities by persons employed under this section, including, but not necessarily limited to, governance, staff development, grant writing, and advising student organizations, shall not be used for purposes of calculating eligibility for contract or regular status unless otherwise provided for in a collective bargaining agreement applicable to a person employed under this section.
3. PART TIME ASSIGNMENTS, IDENTIFICATION IN CLASS SCHEDULE, AND ACCESS TO DEPARTMENT FACILITIES.
87482.8. Whenever possible: (a) Part-time faculty should be informed of assignments at least six weeks in advance. (b) Part-time faculty should be paid for the first week of an
assignment when class is canceled less than two weeks before the beginning of a semester. If a class meets more than once per week, part-time faculty should be paid for all classes that were scheduled for that week.
(c) The names of part-time faculty should be listed in the schedule of classes rather than just described as "staff."
(d) Part-time faculty should be considered to be an integral part of their departments and given all the rights normally afforded to full-time faculty in the areas of book selection, participation in department activities, and the use of college resources, including, but not necessarily limited to, telephones, copy machines, supplies, office space, mail boxes, clerical staff, library, and professional development.
4. NEGOTIATION OF “NEW OR SUCCESSOR CONTRACT[S]” FOR PART TIME FACULTY
87482.9. . . . The issue of earning and retaining of annual reappointment rights shall be a mandatory subject of negotiation with respect to the collective bargaining process relating to any new or successor contract between community college districts and temporary or part-time faculty occurring on or after January 1, 2002.
