TITLE: Accomplishments in Faculty and Staff Development,
1988-1990.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1990
NOTE: 31 p.
ABSTRACT: In spring 1989, the California Legislature
provided $5 million for faculty and staff development at
California Community Colleges during the 1988-89 fiscal
year. Another $5 million was allocated in July 1989 for 1989
90. These funds, allocated under Assembly Bill (AB) 1725,
were provided for each campus to establish an advisory
committee composed of faculty, classified employees, and
administrators; to conduct a staff development needs
assessment; to develop a plan to meet those needs; and to
implement the planned activities. In April 1990, the
Chancellor's Office requested that each college provide
information on any faculty and staff development activities,
explaining whether such activities were financed through AB
1725 or with District funds, and providing statistics on the
number of people participating in each development activity.
The colleges were asked to provide information on: (1) any
outstanding activity financed with AB 1725 funds; (2) any
activity relating to underrepresented groups, affirmative
action, upward mobility and intercultural workshops; and (3)
any activity carried out with a sister institution or
neighboring college. Synopses are provided of the responses
of 33 colleges to any or all of these questions.
