How can we get more state funding for office hours, equal pay for equal work, and new full-time positions that that will benefit existing part-time faculty? CFT is calling on part-timers and their allies to urge the governor to include line items in the state budget dedicated to these essential improvements. 

Advocate for our interests in providing equal education opportunities for students by writing directly to Gov. Brown and others who influence the state budget. Ask the governor and the Department of Finance for these new resources:

• $100 million to make existing part-time faculty full time

• $50 million to increase the salaries of temporary, part-time faculty as a first step toward achieving pay equity with their tenure-track colleagues

• $30 million to fund paid office hours for part-time faculty.
