To always treat students as ends in themselves, and never as means to our own ends. To create a learning environment of trust and sensitivity. To protect and advance academic freedom of students. To show due respect for the opinions of others. To accept a share of faculty responsibility for governance of the academic institution.
Faculty seek above all to be effective teachers and scholars.
The faculty member's primary responsibility is to the instructional role within the institution. There is an obligation to give due notice in the event of interruption or termination of services. We accept the obligation to promote conditions of free inquiry and to promote public understanding of academic freedom. We work to promote the rights of students. The mission statement of the California Community Colleges expressly requires free and fair access to community college instruction.
