2016 SDCCD Faculty RAF Economic Settlement

Dear SDCCD Faculty Colleagues,
I am pleased to share with you the significant economic improvement we have negotiated for all faculty effective January 1, 2016.  Please click here to cast your ratification vote on this package.
•  Increase adjunct faculty salary schedules across the board by 8.0%.
•  Increase contract faculty salary schedules across the board by 5.0%.
•  Add one 2.75% step to bottom of Classes 2-6 of adjunct salary schedules.
•  Align CE adjunct faculty voc. ed. salary placement rules with college faculty.
•  Increase 17 partial CE contracts to 100%.
•  Increase college faculty Adjunct Office Hours funding pool which should increase the adjunct office hour compensation rate to closer to $25-$30/hour (dependent on the number of applicants).
•  7 additional ESUs to fund faculty working in the Art Gallery at City College.
•  Decrease Contract Faculty Counselor assigned weekly hours from 33 to 32 effective January, 2016.
•  Decrease assigned lab hours for 1.0 FTEF from 20 to 19 in spring 2016, and then from 19 to 18 effective fall 2016.  This will result in the FTEF calculation for a three hour lab class (for example) increasing from 0.150 FTEF to 0.158 FTEF in the spring, and then to 0.167 FTEF in the fall.
•  Increase in the number of 11-month contracts for college department chairs so that any chair or co-chair with 30% or more reassigned time will receive the 11-month contract.
•  Increase in AFT reassigned time by 3.0 FTEF
•  College faculty to be paid five (5) hours of non-classroom pay for each completing student enrolled in an Independent Study 290 course.
•  Increase stipends for CE Program Chairs and Assistant Program Chairs to more closely equal stipends for college faculty chairs.
•  Increase maximum entry level step placement to Step C for newly hired contract faculty.
