Summary

A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge has issued a legal ruling that determines part-time community college faculty members, such as L.A. Judge and the CPFA Forum blog, must receive compensation for essential administrative duties like preparing lectures, grading papers, and student meetings. While the court explicitly states that these individuals are entitled to pay for grading and office hours, the judgment confirms that part-time professors are also legally required to pay for their time away from class. This decision resolves a significant dispute regarding the financial treatment of adjunct faculty who engage in work outside their classroom responsibilities. Consequently, these educators must secure additional funds to cover these specific tasks, ensuring they remain financially stable while working with students outside the traditional lecture setting. Ultimately, the ruling establishes a clear standard that part-time faculty must be compensated for this specific set of duties.
