The Faculty Association:

Provides access to legal representation for its members for both job-related matters and personal matters. In job-related matters, there is no cost to a faculty member for legal representation up to the point of litigation. For job-related litigation as well as personal matters, the faculty member will receive legal representation at a reduced rate. For more detailed information, contact your college faculty senate president or the Faculty Association office. Details

Contracts with a lobbying firm to provide representation for the Faculty Association and its members at the Arizona State Legislature. Services provided by the lobbyist include “bill tracking” issues of importance to community college faculty, communicating with legislators to relay comments and concerns of the faculty, and working with the Faculty Executive Council’s legislative committee to review and prioritize current legislation viewed as important to us.

Acts on behalf of all residential faculty in negotiating changes to salary, benefits, and working conditions in the Residential Faculty Policies (RFP) through its Meet and Confer Team. Recent important changes in the RFP have included such items as the addition of language for compensation for supervision and evaluation of Dual Enrollment Instructors, and revisions to language involving equitable faculty loading, and internal investigations. All faculty receive a copy of the Residential Faculty Policies in the early fall. The RFP is also available on this site.

Ensures that faculty issues and concerns are represented in District policy-recommending committees such as the Financial Advisory Council (FAC), the Employee Benefits Advisory Council (EBAC), the Faculty of Color Recruitment and Retention Committee (FCRRC), the Common Pages Committee and the Chancellor’s Executive Council (CEC).
