The California Community College (CCC) system is the largest two-year higher education system in the United States, providing courses to over 1.7 million students and employing more than 85,000 persons (in 2002). At the request of Senator Alarcon, this report analyzes staffing patterns in California's community colleges. Based on data from 1994 to 2002, information is presented on the composition of the staff by months worked, full-time and part-time status, gender, ethnicity, new hires, age, and annual salary, for each of the following employment classifications: (1) educational administrators; (2) tenured faculty; (3) tenure track faculty; (4) temporary faculty; and (5) classified staff. In addition, this report provides information on staffing patterns by types of courses taught and by community college districts. (Contains 18 footnotes, 98 figures and 1 appendix.)
