Letter of Support for AB 1028: Identifying Potential Risks

As Chair of the California Part-time Faculty Association (CPFA), I want to express our sincere gratitude for your proposed legislation. Your bill represents a commendable effort to support California community college faculty and increase tenure density. However, I am writing to bring to your attention a critical issue: the proposal to advance part-time faculty into tenure-track positions may conflict with existing laws and could result in significant unintended consequences.

Letter to Senator Portantino in Support of AB1856

When it comes to fiscal impact, the [projected] $200 to $400M...is a totally moot point. According to IRS guidelines, districts are not required to offer health benefits to employees teaching less than 88.89% of a full-time workload....there can be no projected additional costs to the state for health coverage that districts are not mandated to offer.
