POLICY ISSUES

• Panel Discussion– What are the appropriate roles in the area of faculty compensation

(state level versus local district, e.g., impact of collective bargaining, etc)?;

– What relative priority should the system place on full-time and part-time faculty issues?;

– Which subcomponents of the full-time and part-time faculty issues should receive the highest priority and attention?;

– Should the system focus on disparity of full-time salaries among the various system colleges, and;

– How should the system approach the potentially different salary appropriations for various members of the community and technical college staff growing out of the passage of Initiative 732?
