m. “Old” Plan Component 16: Graduate Assumption Program

i. Legal Requirements Here again, we utilized the Model Plan numbering for clarity. The Education Code requires that the Chancellor’s Model Equal Employment Opportunity Plan encourage “districts to take steps reasonably calculated to inform their students about the opportunity to participate in the Graduate Assumption Program of Loans for Education (GAPLE)” authorized by the Education Code. 235 The Guidelines note, unfortunately, that the GAPLE program is not currently funded, and has not been funded in recent years. Nevertheless, the Model Plan recommends that districts explore other ways to encourage students to complete their graduate studies so that they can compete for academic positions in the community colleges. ii. Implementation We recommend the suggested language included in the Model Plan . 236 As noted above, one indicator that can capture the “sensitivity to the diversity of community college students” is that the applicant was a community college student. Because this factor offers a race/ethnicity neutral criterion that has the potential to attract a diverse, qualified applicant pool, districts should develop programs designed to encourage community college students to become community college professors or administrators.

n. “Old” Plan Component 17: Progress in Achieving Ratio of Full-Time to Part- Time Faculty Hiring While Ensuring EEO

i. Legal Requirements Here again, we use the Model Plan number for clarity. The law requires districts to progress in achieving the ratio of full-time to part-time faculty hiring, while still ensuring equal employment opportunity. As indicated above, districts are also required to address this in their EEO Plans.

ii. Implementation 237 We recommend that districts address this in Component 10 as more fully outlined above.
