TITLE: Future Faculty Development Program.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1990
NOTE: 12 p.
ABSTRACT: In an effort to develop a pool of qualified
candidates for full-time faculty positions, with particular
emphasis on increasing the number of ethnic minority faculty
to reflect the adult population of California, Southwestern
College (SC) developed the Future Faculty Development
Program (FFDP). The purpose of the program is fourfold: (1)
to provide a unique opportunity for current students and
recent alumni of SC to develop those talents, skills, and
qualifications necessary to prepare for a career in
community college teaching or counseling; (2) to provide the
opportunity for such individuals to become employed by the
District in one of three differentiated staffing levels
(i.e., Work Study/Federal Work Study, Internships, and
Instructional Assistantships) under the mentorship of
supervising faculty and staff; (3) to provide the means for
a proactive institutional response to the affirmative action
mandates of Assembly Bill 1725, and the near future prospect
of massive faculty/staff retirements; and (4) to assist the
college district in meeting the goal of reflecting the
ethnic composition of the college's service territory by
providing sufficient numbers of minority role models in
staffing positions. Current levels of SC minority staff (up
from 9.6% in 1971-72 to 24.3% in 1988-89) are still short of
the minority student population of 61%. Compensation for the
three staffing levels range from $4.25 to $11.10 per hour. A
special faculty/staff committee and a Staff Development
Coordinator are responsible for reviewing applications and
hiring. A sample program application, and detailed lists of
available positions and salaries is included. (GFW)

floor of the west wing. All you need is the six digit ED
number. If EJ follows ERIC TITLE NUMBER the item is a
journal article. The complete journal name is listed after
