A 'rebellion' mounts among community college professors as California pushes for change - ALEXEI KOSEFF, Sacramento Bee

As California leaders prepare this week to change the way the state funds its community colleges, a revolt is growing among professors who say it's too much too soon for a system already undergoing rapid transformations to improve dismal student outcomes. "Statewide, there's definitely a rebellion brewing," said Gayle Pitman, a professor of psychology and president of the Academic Senate at Sacramento City College, which has not yet passed a vote of no confidence. "Faculty aren't being brought to the table. They aren't being engaged the way we've traditionally been engaged." https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article212964894.html
