Part-Time Load Increases

Good news for our part-time faculty. Inside Higer Ed reports that "California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Thursday signed legislation that raises the limit on how much individual part-time faculty members can work at any one community college from 60 percent to 67 percent of a full-time professor’s load."
This law was pushed mainly for language instructors who teach 4 or 5 units classes, and can not teach more than one class at any one school. Most of the classes in our division are 3 units classes, so this law will not affect us much.
