PUB TYPE Collected Works Serials (022) JOURNAL CIT FACCCTS: The Journal of California Community College Faculty; v5 n1-4 Sep 1998-May 1999 EDRS PRICE MF01/PC06 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *College Faculty; *Community Colleges; Educational Finance; Educational Trends; *Governance; Legislators; Political Candidates; *Retirement Benefits; Two Year Colleges IDENTIFIERS *California Community Colleges ABSTRACT This document contains the four Faculty Association of California Community Colleges (FACCCTS) newsletters published during the 1998-99 academic year. In the September 1998 issue, faculty members talk about what shared governance means and how to improve it on individual campuses. The issue also features Gray Davis' plans forthe community colleges if he is elected governor and presents endorsements to support education-friendly candidates for the November 3 election. The December 1998 issue explains how to calculate new retirement benefits in the State Teachers' Retirement System, how the changes affect all faculties, andwho faculty should thank for the improvements. Faculty member Carolyn Russell gives a first-person account about the grassroots efforts that successfully convinced state legislators to pass the retirement package. The February 1999 issue features Assemblywomen Gloria Romero and Charlene Zettel and their commitment to helping community colleges receive the funding they need to do their jobs well. It also provides a list of legislators and their primary community college districts.

  • 2003 California Gubernatorial Recall
    THE 2003 CALIFORNIA GUBERNATORIAL RECALL FLOYD FEENEYt California is one of eighteen American states that authorize the recall of statewide officers,1 and one of the approximately thirty-six states that authorize the recall of local elected officials. 2 Although a few states purport to authorize the recall of members of Congress, 3 the t Floyd Feeney is the Homer and Ann Berryhill Angelo Professor of Law at the University of California, Davis School of Law. He would like to express his appreciation to the editors and staff of the Creighton Law Review, and particularly to Sara Gude, for their very helpful assistance with this article. Parts of this article were presented in 2003 at a workshop sponsored by California State University, Sacramento, the host for the second recall debate and at the Eighth International Conference on Elections spon- sored by the Italian Society for the Study of Elections (SISE). The author would like to thank California State University, Sacramento, the Italian Society (SISE), Mario Caciagli, Tim Hodson, Tony Miller, and Pier Vincenzo Uleri for their valuable contribu- tions to the article. The author is solely responsible for the opinions expressed. 1. See app. A. The District of Columbia also authorizes use of the recall. 2. See app. B. In 2006, 60.3% of U.S. cities had recall provisions. This exceeded the percentages for the two other major direct democracy devices-the initiative (57.5%) and the citizen-generated referendum (45.3%). In the five years between 2002 and 2006, recall petitions were filed against a council member in 4.5% of U.S.
