City College of San Francisco (CCSF) Trustees Take Action Regarding Faculty Rehire Resolution
San Francisco, CA – The City College Board of Trustees held a special meeting on Thursday, July 27th, to further clarify on their Resolution to Rehire Laid-Off Faculty, which passed unanimously at the May 18th regular board meeting. At the special meeting, the Trustees in attendance developed a subsequent motion outlining their expectations for the Chancellor to rehire full-time and part-time laid-off faculty.
The clarifying motion, passed by the Board, outlined the expectation that the Department Chair reports included as attachments in the June 2023 Chancellor’s Report be used as a tool to prioritize rehiring decisions. Additionally, the motion establishes a definitive rehire date for the laid-off full-time and part-time faculty. The motion concludes, “Going forward, faculty will be brought back in the subsequent semesters without delay through summer of 2024.”
City College Offices of Academic & Student Affairs will work collaboratively with Department Chairs and college constituencies to ensure the Board’s expectations are implemented and their deadline of summer of 2024 is met.
The complete motion passed on July 27, 2023, can be found in the July 27, 2023 - Special Board of Trustees Meeting agenda.
