Return to Campus Planning
CCSF administration is rolling out plans for a limited return to campus. A few classes and services have already been held in-person, and we expect a few more to begin in-person during Spring 2021. While we are hopeful about returning to in-person education, we need to protect the health and safety of employees and students. We also have to make sure that safety protocol does not create extra work for faculty.
If the safety plan isn’t sufficient, or if something goes wrong with implementation of the plan, DO NOT PUT YOURSELF AT RISK. Tell your chair immediately and also report to your precinct rep. AFT 2121 can represent you.
Some faculty cannot return to campus because of your personal circumstances. We’ve negotiated expanded leave options for faculty who need them.
AFT posts all plans and revisions as we receive them. Your precinct rep and your chair also have copies.
As we review these plans, we’ve seen a wide range of conditions. Some plans are excellent and the faculty feel safe and protected. Some have been problematic. In a few cases, the plans are good but implementation is faulty. Meet with your precinct rep to discuss the plans.
We’ve developed a rubric to help evaluate safety. It can be used on reading the plan, during a walkthrough, or later as you’re working. The rubric is a google form, and you can use it to report conditions to AFT 2121. This is separate from feedback you might want to give to your chair, dean, or administrator.

Unemployment Benefits for Winter
Part-timers who don’t have sufficient income from other work are entitled to unemployment benefits over winter break.
- Even if you’re pretty sure you have an assignment for Spring, you are still eligible. You are considered unemployed until that assignment actually starts, since the assignment isn’t guaranteed.
- Apply as soon as possible on or after the semester ends (December 18th). Your application is retroactive only to the Sunday of the week in which you apply.
- When you apply for benefits, you must report your earnings. Remember that all assignments except subbing are now PBL (pay by workload). myRAM paystubs still list hours and hourly rates, but unless you were subbing, those rates are misleading. You were not paid hourly.If your CCSF assignment ends but you still have some work (either from another employer, or a reduced CCSF assignment) you may still be eligible for unemployment. If you’re not sure they’ll consider you unemployed, the best way to find out is to apply.
For detailed information about how to calculate your earnings and apply for unemployment, see the AFT’s unemployment page.
