Whereas the original faculty development list in AB 1725 was made deliberately broad to allow for a variety of activities to meet both local faculty and local college needs, and

Whereas AB 1725 and recent regulations to strengthen local senates have added to the professional stature of community college faculty who will act professionally without detailed lists of activities not allowed as faculty development,
