San Diego community colleges – larger classes, higher tuition
Thanks for writing this article on the plight of community college students in San Diego. It really gives a first hand view into the lives of students. I am one of those part-time professors that was laid off due to the budget cuts. This fall I had over fifty students in my class and I accepted almost everyone that wanted to crash the class. It made it difficult to provide the best instruction, but I understood what students were going through. I attended Grossmont college in the early nineties and the move towards part-time faculty was fully endorsed by the administration. Since then we have seen more and more full-time faculty replaced with part=timers. This has affected students and faculty. Providing students with the extra time outside of class and having the time to prepare for the next semester when you don't know if your going to teach the next semester makes things worse. Keeping the best qualified staff is difficult also. Many leave the profession for more permanent work opportunities. The only recourse is to get involved in your education and protest what the governor and legislators plan to do with our future. Join a group on campus that is fighting for a better future. Recently students, faculty and staff created an organization called Educational For All to address the budget cuts. Look us up on Facebook and join the struggle to save California public education.— January 15, 2010 11:52 a.m.
