Overview The community college tradition of good classroom teaching, as well as mentoring and advisement, is entrusted to 441 full time and 461 part-time faculty.
Degree distribution is pictured below.
Retirement incentives from the state and county in 1996 and 1998 resulted in the retirement of a significant number of senior faculty. Due to the college s financial situation, a hiring freeze on replacement faculty has been imposed by the Board of Trustees. Some full-time positions, not resulting from retirements, were allowed. The qualifications for teaching within a discipline are established by the academic unit and subsequently communicated to Human Resources. Minimum qualifications for both full and part-time teaching are the same.
