CALLING ALL FACULTY WHO ARE WORKING IN-PERSON! YOUR RETURN TO CAMPUS TEAM NEEDS TO HEAR FROM YOU.

Good or bad, we need to hear about your experiences being on campus.

Are there signs up outside your room notifying students, staff, and faculty what the COVID protocols are? Is social distancing clearly marked in your workspace? Is the ventilation adequate? Are masks being worn? Do you know who your building monitor is and are you satisfied with their oversight? Is the District ensuring that your room is being regularly sanitized? What concerns or positive experiences should other union members know about?

Return-to-Campus Clarification

Our Tuesday morning began with a flood of questions, worry, and outright panic about return-to-campus plans. We received a confusing message from Interim Chancellor Dianna Gonzales, which left many with the impression that we would be required to return to campus this semester.

AFT 2121 inquired with the chancellor to get a clarification. We were told that classes will continue as currently scheduled, and nothing currently planned to be remote or online will be moved to in-person in Fall 2021. Typical of CCSF communication, the chancellor’s message basically boiled down to: Administration is working on return-to-campus plans, stay tuned to find out more later. There was no new information or any change in policy. Fall 2021 will remain as currently scheduled. Administration hopes to bring more classes and programs back in person in Spring 2021, but much of the college will still remain remote.

They failed to address noise, air quality, pollution from aircraft fuel, and the needs of other programs at the Evans Campus.

Your paycheck this week

In May, you and the majority of your colleagues came together to support a one-year agreement, accepting temporary salary concessions in order to save our students and our college from devastating cuts. And even though we all knew a pay reduction was coming, it’s painful to see.

Why did we make this sacrifice? Over 60% of CCSF’s faculty were facing layoff: 163 FT faculty received pink slips notices, and over 500 PT faculty were at risk of losing their jobs. This included more than 40% of Black faculty members. The cuts would have robbed tens of thousands of students of education. These cuts are temporary and progressive, and we’ve accepted them to save courses, jobs, and our bargaining power.
