Whereas, The Academic Senate for California Community Colleges has long supported the provision of a core of full-time faculty as vital to the educational success of our programs and students;
Whereas, Despite Title 5 Regulations specifying a full-time faculty obligation number, the goal of 75% full-time credit instruction is far from being realized; and
Whereas, Some question the origins and validity of the long-standing 75% goal of both the Legislature and the Board of Governors;
Resolved, That Academic Senate for California Community Colleges develop a paper that documents the origins and history of the 75% goal and that explains the wider value of full-time faculty to programs and students. MSC Disposition: Local Senates
