As California leaders prepare this week to change the way the state funds its community collegesa revolt is growing among professors who say its too much too soon for a system alreadyundergoing rapid transformations to improve dismal student outcomes
Over the past two months the academic senates from at least half a dozen colleges as well as thefaculty union for the community college district in the Sacramento area have passed votes of noconfidence in system Chancellor Eloy Ortiz Oakley They criticize Oakley who took over inDecember 2016 for ignoring faculty input as he has advocated for a wide range of changesincluding the new funding formula that will for the first time consider student performance indetermining college budgets
Statewide theres definitely a rebellion brewing said Gayle Pitman a professor of psychologyand president of the Academic Senate at Sacramento City College which has not yet passed avote of no confidence Faculty arent being brought to the table They arent being engaged theway weve traditionally been engaged
Oakley disputes he has left anyone out of a process that he notes requires only consultation notagreement He attributes the backlash to fear of the unknown which he believes will dissipateover time as the changes have a positive effect

Professors say their frustration with Oakley has been building since he was sworn is as chancellorof the 21 million-student California Community Colleges While the systems 114 collegesoperate in some ways more independently than the states public universities they have beensubject to several sweeping policy changes over the past year-and-a-half including an overhaul ofhow new students are placed into remedial English and math classes
Oakley was a driving force behind many of those shifts which aim to address perpetually lowcompletion rates Fewer than half of students transfer to a four-year university or finish a degreeor certificate within six years
Tensions began to boil however when Brown unveiled in his January budget plan two more majorproposals for the community colleges an entirely online college to serve adult learners without ahigher-education degree who need to brush up on skills to advance in their careers and asignification revision of the funding formula that has historically awarded state money to districtsbased on how many students they enroll Both are expected to pass this week as part of a budgetdeal with lawmakers
Faculty leaders contend that the online college mdash which will receive $100 million to launch and$20 million annually after that for ongoing costs mdash is a waste of money that duplicates onlinecourse offerings already available at existing colleges while diverting resources from thosecampuses
They have significant grievances about the funding formula which will dictate how more than $6billion is allocated to the community college system in the state budget each year
Under the new formula which would take full effect within three years 60 percent of funding isbased on the traditional metric of enrollment Another 20 percent is based on the number of low-income students at a college Those components echo a similar overhaul of K-12 school fundingunder Brown in 2013
But most controversially the final 20 percent of the funding is performance-based using metricssuch as the number of degrees a college awards the number of students who transfer and thenumber of new students who complete transfer-level English and math courses in their first yearwith even more funding for good outcomes among poor students
Adam Wetsman an anthropology professor at Rio Hondo College and president of the FacultyAssociation of California Community Colleges worries that final piece will encourage schools topush students through to completion at the expense of their learning Simulations show about afifth of districts would be set to lose funding under the formula

Wetsman said faculty feel that Oakley Brown and other policymakers are listening to theseoutside advocacy groups that are funded by multibillionaires that want to transform educationrather than the professors who know what they need in their classrooms
Burrito bowls for Jerry Brown Its insulting to compare UC toChipotle advocates say
Be more like Chipotle Jerry Brown tells California universities
Tuition will not increase at California State University next year
Chancellor Oakley has the best intentions in the world And we all align in our goals he said Abad solution to a problem doesnt solve the problem
The chancellors office has defended both proposals as a way to serve students who havehistorically been left behind in California higher education and to stanch financial losses fromdeclining enrollment as the economy improves

Oakley said the funding formula rewards colleges that can address longstanding inequities in theiracademic outcomes While I respect the right of faculty to voice their concerns he said he feelsan urgency to act quickly
We are not just concerned about enrolling students We are concerned about enrolling them andgetting them through he said I have to respond to the needs of communities of regions of thestate of California
Audrey Dow senior vice president of the Campaign for College Opportunity also rejected facultycomplaints that they have not had a proper chance to weigh in on the funding formula She saidher organization one of many business and civil rights groups that joined Oakley in advocating forthe proposal at the Capitol this session has been pitching a similar idea for nearly a decade
The new formula is better because it will force colleges to prioritize the things students need tofinish in a timely manner she said Our students are the rush And theyrsquove been waiting a longtime
The votes of no confidence by faculty represent an effort to get the attention of Oakley and otherpolicymakers Several professors said they expect more to follow when classes resume for the fallsemester
Many of us have been frustrated by the lack of financial resources and the nonstop stream ofchanges from the Capitol that have been at odds with our needs said Jeffrey Michels a professorof English at Contra Costa College and president of the California Community CollegeIndependents an umbrella union group
Michels said the online college and new funding formula feel driven more by politics at the endof Browns final term as governor than by policy Several professors pointed to a 2016 study fromthe liberal think tank The Century Foundation that concluded performance-based funding doesnot improve student outcomes
Dismissing Oakleys consultation with faculty as the illusion of inclusion Michels said the realsolution to helping students is hiring more full-time faculty rather than the part-time instructorswho teach a large chunk of community college classes
I dont need incentives for student success As soon as I see my students I want them tosucceed he said What affects my relationship with my students is having the time andresources to support them
