Faculty Salaries, 1978-79.

Faculty salary and workload data for 1978-1979 are presented as determined by a survey of the 70 California community college districts. Tables in Section I of the report provide district and statewide information on: (1) the number and percent of full-time and part-time faculty; (2) the salaries paid for full-time instructors in 1978-1979, the percent increase this represents over 1977-1978 salaries, and expenditures for full-time faculty bonuses; (3) the weekly faculty contact hours (WFCH's) carried by full-time faculty with no overload, by full-time faculty with an overload for extra pay, and by part-time faculty; (4) the number of part-time faculty and the range of their WFCH's; (5) the overload assignments carried by faculty for extra pay and the compensation per overload WFCH; and (6) the range of paid compensation and the mean compensation for full-time overload assignments and part-time faculty workload. Section II presents, for all but two of the districts, faculty salary schedules, noting for each level the number of employees, the mean and median district salaries, and the percentage of increase over 1977-1978. Differences in interpretation and data collection methodology are explained for the various college districts. (JP)
