Hello FACCCtivists,
Your advocacy is needed. Please respond to this call for action and forward this email to your networks.
FACCC-sponsored AB 310 (Medina), which would require the provision of paid part-time faculty office hours to be reported on local community college districts’ websites, is currently sitting in the suspense file of the Senate Appropriations Committee. We need to remind legislators that part-time office hours is a vital issue that impacts thousands of faculty members and millions of students throughout the state.
AB 310 provides students with critical information as they decide which community college to attend. Students have frequently testified that access to their instructors is the key factor to their success and it is important for them to know whether this will be available to them at their chosen college. In this regard, AB 310 increases transparency of community college districts.
