An analysis is provided of statewide information about California community college faculty, administrators, and classified employees, including staffing trends, faculty workload, salaries, fringe benefits, and demographic characteristics. Drawing largely from a database containing information for the period from 1981 to fall 1987, the report highlights the following: (1) in fall 1987, the number of staff in the California community colleges was 63,738, representing a 1% increase from the previous year, but still falling 8% below the number reported for 1981; (2) nearly two-thirds of all community college employees were faculty; (3) except for fluctuations in the number of part-time faculty, staffing levels remained relatively stable since 1978; (4) 40% of the community college faculty taught full-time, and one-third of these faculty members also taught an overload assignment; (5) since 1981, the student/faculty ratio in the California community colleges varied between a high of 30:1 in 1981 and a low of 27:1 in 1985; (6) in 1987-88, the average full-time instructor earned $40,047, reflecting a rate of growth in salaries not in pace with that at either the University of California or the California State University; (7) part-time faculty were paid at an hourly rate averaging $27 during fall 1987, and earned about $1,400 for teaching a three-unit semester class; and (8) in 1987, racial and ethnic minorities comprised one-seventh of California community college faculty, nearly one-fourth of administrators, and one-third of classified staff.
