DESCRIPTORS *College Faculty; *Community Colleges; *Educational Legislation; Educational Planning; Futures (of Society); Student Characteristics; *Teacher Attitudes; *Tenure; Two Year Colleges IDENTIFIERS *California Community Colleges ABSTRACT This document contains the four issues of FACCCTS, the Journal of the Faculty Association of the California Community Colleges, published during the 1995-96 academic year. In the September 1995 issue, faculty members explore sensitive faculty issues: Is tenure's time up? When will part-time faculty finally receive the respect they deserve? Should the 175-day academic calendar be killed? In the November/December 1995 issue, faculty members, fundamentalists, state government, and Assembly member John Vasconcellos voice their vision for the community colleges' future. The February 1996 issue explores "Tidal Wave II," a term coined by the authors of a report from the California Higher Education Policy center for referring to the new students who will flood higher education in the next decade. FACCTS looks at who they are, their attitudes, the job market they are entering, and their vision of the future, in their own words. The May 1996 issue includes stories of some of the keynote speakers and recipients of the 1996 FACCC Awards at the 1996 FACCC Conference. A few statistics about faculty members at the state's community colleges are followed by a wide range of faculty issues. Each issue of the Journal also contains various features such as letters to the Editor, Legislative Report, FACCCTS Survey, and Book Review.

  • The Opponents of Proposition 5
    THE OPPONENTS OF PROPOSITION 5 AN ANALYSIS OF CAMPAIGN EXPENDITURES IN OPPOSITION TO PROPOSITION 5 Christopher E. Skinnell The Rose Institute of State and Local Government Claremont McKenna College INTRODUCTION During the 1998 campaign season, dozens of news articles were written about the fact that Proposition 5 (Indian Gaming Compacts) had broken all previous records for spending on an initiative: all told, more than $92 million.1 The vast majority of the media coverage2 focused on the substantial expenditures of California’s Indian tribes in support of Proposition 5: $66,257,088 to be precise.3 Very much less was written about the nature of the opposition to Proposition 5. In previous years, any group that spent in excess of $25 million dollars on an initiative would have been big news, but “No on 5” forces were given little scrutiny. This study aims to correct that imbalance. This report shows that the opposition to Proposition 5 consisted of a few very well financed special interests: labor unions,4 casinos (California and 1 Secretary of State’s website, [http://www.ss.ca.gov/prd/bmprimary98_final/Prop_5.htm], September 28, 1999. 2 Consider, for example, these one-sided articles: Dan Morain, “Handful of Tribes Broke Initiative Spending Record” Los Angeles Times, February 6, 1999, p. 18.; Robert B. Gunnison, “Indian Tribes Stake a Bundle on Campaign to Pass Proposition 5.”, San Francisco Chronicle, October 23, 1998, p. A24.; Tim Cornwell, “US Indians Gamble 40M Dollars on Vote to Boost Casinos”, The Scotsman, October 17, 1998, p. 13; and Tom Gorman, “Tribes Spending Heavily on Casino Measure,” Los Angeles Times, August 4, 1998, Home Edition, p.
