Part-time faculty are the backbone of this district

Part-timers are the majority of faculty at Skyline

Yet part-timers are paid at anywhere between 60-75% of full-timers for the same amount of teaching

SMCCD lags behind many Bay 10 districts in part-time pay parity: the percentage of a full-time salary that part-timers make for the same load�http://aft1493.org/mar-apr-2019-advocate-2/
