Question

Where in the CA Ed. Code are the rights of adjunct community college professors outlined? ... anything except the health care issue. Thanks so much for any response(s).



Answer

Interesting question. I am not aware of anything in the code expressly addressing adjuncts. Usually, these are specific to the university and are negotiated contractually between the adjunct and the department administration. (Incidentally, I have been involved in contract negotiations as a staff association representative for sessional/contract professions, but never for adjuncts. The assumption we made was that adjuncts were more short term with specific tasks, such as supervision of one or two grad students. I have been appointed as an adjunct myself, and I had this limited role.)
