TITLE: Issues in California Community Colleges.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1989
JOURNAL: Forum; v6 Sum 1989
NOTE: 73 p.
ABSTRACT: This issue of Forum, a journal designed to permit
California community college faculty to share ideas,
contains six articles focusing on issues related to the
enactment of Assembly Bill 1725 (AB 1725). The first
article, "Your Father's Oldsmobile: The Uses of Tradition
in Core Programs," by John McFarland, analyzes the
development of general education programs in U.S. higher
education. "Management Wisdom through the Ages," by Jack
Scott, discusses management techniques throughout history,
focusing on six main tenets: selecting effective personnel,
listening carefully, anticipating problems, correcting
mistakes, maintaining integrity, and persevering. Next, Cy
Gulassa argues, in "Collaborative Governance in the
Foothill-DeAnza Community College District," that the
increased faculty and student roles in district governance
mandated by AB 1725 can be achieved through the use of
policy development groups, and provides a detailed
description of the Foothill-DeAnza budget policy group.
"Meeting the Needs of the Disabled," by Karen S. Grosz,
argues that the failure to meet the needs of
disabled students results in a college culture that
overlooks the moral and intellectual worth of an
individual, thus contradicting the aim of education.
Finally, "Theory into Practice: Knowledge and Skills Gained
in Graduate School Applied to College Administration," by
Ann Stephenson and Jan Moser, applies skills and concepts
which the authors learned in graduate school to college
administration. The journal concludes with a model of
contract faculty hiring procedures prepared by the Academic
Senate Educational Policies Committee. (JMC)

programs, research and development efforts, and related
information that can be used in developing more effective
educational programs. The ERIC database is currently
available on CD-ROM in the main library (ground floor of
