Existing law requires the commission, in conducting the study, to consult various representatives from the education community, including the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, community college faculty groups, and other interested parties.This bill would instead require the California Community Colleges Chancellors Office to conduct a comprehensive study of part-time faculty as specified, to be completed by July 1, 2023.

The bill would also require the chancellors office, in conducting the study, convene a working group including representatives of community college faculty unions, and consult various representatives of the education community as specified, for the purposes of identifying a statewide definition of part-time faculty parity that could be applied locally. The bill would also delete an obsolete reporting requirement.Under existing law, a person in an academic position at a community college who serves less than a full school year shall receive as salary only an amount that bears the same ratio to the established annual salary for the position as the number of working days the employee serves bears to the total number of working days plus institutes in the annual school term, and any other day when the employee is required by the governing board to be present at the schools of the district, and a person in an academic position who serves a complete semester shall receive not less than 1/2 of the established annual salary for the position.This bill would require that a person who is employed to teach adult or community college classes for fewer than the hours per week considered a full-time assignment for regular employees having comparable duties shall receive compensation in an amount that bears the same ratio to the amount provided to full-time employees as the time actually served by the part-time employee bears to the time actually served by full-time employees with comparable duties.By imposing new duties on community college districts, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
