Governor Newsom has indicated that he may once again veto CFT’s bill to increase the workload cap for part-time faculty. This bill, AB 1856, would formally increase the workload cap available to part-time faculty from 67% up to 85% of a full-time faculty workload in California’s community colleges. We made a big splash this week, sending over 2,000 letters in one day asking the Governor to sign this bill, and now have surpassed 3,000 letters, but we need to continue advocating for him to sign the bill until his decision is made.
Please take a moment and urge Governor Newsom to sign AB 1856, and urge your colleagues to do so as well.
