FACCC prioritizes ways to improve working conditions for part-time faculty in the California Community Colleges while supporting the full inclusion of non-tenure track faculty in the collegiate community, including a democratic voice in governance activities and access to professional development opportunities. The FACCC Statement of Philosophy and Standards of Employment for Non-Tenure Track Faculty (Part-Time Faculty) outlines the association's commitment to advocacy on behalf of part-time faculty in the California Community Colleges.
FACCC works closely with the Employment Development Department (EDD) and the California State Teachers’ Retirement System (CalSTRS) to allow part-timers to access available benefits.
Contingent World: A website managed by FACCC Governor-at-Large John Govsky of Cabrillo College focuses primarily on contingent faculty within the California Community College system. Often referred to as "part-time," "adjunct," "non-tenure track," or "associate" faculty, this group comprises approximately 35,000 educators statewide.
Amplifying Voices | Advocating for Equity: Episode 16 of the FACCC podcast introduces John Govsky, an Associate faculty member at Cabrillo College, who shares his personal journey and insights into the challenges faced by contingent faculty. John passionately advocates for a one-tier system, or Unified Faculty Model, drawing inspiration from the Vancouver Model in British Columbia.
