FACCC Condemns the Arrest of SEIU President David Huerta and the Targeting of Protestors and the Immigrant Community by ICE

The Faculty Association of California Community Colleges (FACCC) condemns the arrest and reported injury of David Huerta, President of SEIU, during Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in Los Angeles last night. The targeting of Huerta, a prominent labor leader and advocate for immigrant rights, is a chilling escalation in the federal government's attack on organized labor, peaceful protest, and California’s immigrant communities.

We also denounce ICE’s violent and unjustified response to peaceful protestors, who were exercising their constitutional rights to stand against this Administration’s inhumane immigration policies. The treatment of these protestors, many of whom are community members, workers, and students, represents an alarming threat to civil liberties and democratic dissent.

Faculty Association of California Community Colleges Raises Concerns with Governor’s May Revise

The Faculty Association of California Community Colleges (FACCC) recognizes the state's challenging budgetary environment; however, we remain concerned about several of the proposed changes and deferrals.

“FACCC appreciates the Governor’s continued support of our colleges and understands the rationale behind scaling back proposed investments in the Common Cloud Data Platform and the Collaborative Enterprise Resource Planning Project. We are also passionate supporters of the Rising Scholars programs' work and encourage budget leaders to increase the proposed augmentation to the original $30 million proposed in the January budget. This program is vital to advancing equity and opportunity within our colleges and should remain a priority."

Faculty Association of California Community Colleges Responds to State Audit of 50% Law

The Faculty Association of California Community Colleges (FACCC) appreciates the State Auditor's report on the oversight of the 50% Law. The report highlights a 45% growth in administrative positions systemwide despite the stagnation of faculty positions, which is a significant concern for FACCC. 

"We are alarmed by the significant growth of administration without evidence that it leads to increased student success," said Wendy Brill-Wynkoop, President of FACCC. "Much of the increase in student success can be attributed to committed but under-resourced faculty."
