This document presents an analysis of part-time employment issues in California community colleges, including a review of historical developments of the law covering the employment of certificated personnel, a review of some benefits and problems associated with part-time teaching, and consideration of part-time faculty employment as a major issue in community colleges. Specific areas examined include: participation in campus affairs by part-time faculty; implications of collective bargaining pursuant to Senate Bill 160; classification of part-time regular and temporary employees pursuant to Senate Bill 696; need for clarification in the Education Code of rights of employment, termination by reduction in force, written agreement, and tenure or reemployment rights; and pro rata pay for part-time instructors. A legislative program is outlined to deal with the various issues associated with these areas. It is recommended that the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges oppose legislation that would mandate pro rata pay or provide tenure for part-time faculty, seek to accomplish the legislative program described in this document, and consider the question of due process in relation to the provisions of the Education Code concerning temporary and part-time faculty. Appended are pertinent sections of the Education Code and a preliminary analysis of survey data on part-time faculty in California community colleges. (JDS)
