Budget Priorities
- Protect funding for California Community Colleges while prioritizing access so no student is turned away during an economic recession.
- Increase the proposed Cost-of-living-adjustment (COLA) to 3.84 percent to align with the K-12 proposed COLA.
- Increase funding for part-time faculty health benefits and compensation during and after the public health crisis.
- Remove the performance-based funding element of the Student Centered Funding Formula.
- Reallocate Calbright funding to increase investment in the CVC/OEI and boost online education funding for existing colleges.
- Reject the proposal to make the COLA contingent on the creation or implementation of a policy proposal.
FACCC joined the other faculty groups, including members of the Council of Faculty Organizations (CoFO), for our 2021-22 budget lobbying.
Legislative Priorities
- Sponsoring
- AB 1326 (Arambula) would require county human services agencies to designate a staff liaison as a point of contact for community college counselors.
- Co-Sponsoring
- AB 375 (Medina) would increase the percentage of hours part-time faculty may teach to up to 85% of the hours per week as a full-time employee with comparable duties.
