Faculty Assembly

In the spring of 2014, a vote of the full-time faculty established the MiraCosta College Faculty Assembly (FA) as the employee organization exclusively responsible for negotiating and representing full-time faculty in all working condition matters. This change launched a new era at MiraCosta as the FA replaced the collective bargaining duties of the Academic Senate, which had worked to protect and promote the working conditions of full-time faculty for several decades along with their 10+1 responsibilities.

​

Over the past ten years, the FA has engaged in a number of negotiations resulting in a strong Collective Bargaining Agreement which contains many more protections than we previously enjoyed, including a strong Grievance Procedure, Parental Leave Pay, Due Process Rights, and Uniform Workload Measures. The FA retains the services of an attorney who specializes in representing a number of Independent California Community College Unions as well as a Certified Public Accountant to assist with our accounting and filing requirements.
