Faculty Association of California Community Colleges honors Sally Saenger with prestigious award
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (March 15, 2022) — On Sunday and Monday, March 6-7, the Faculty Association of California Community Colleges (FACCC) Advocacy and Policy Conference was held in Sacramento, California. The theme was “Creating Equity Through Policy and Action,” and on Sunday night SBCC Physical Education instructor Sally Saenger was presented with the prestigious Dean Murakami Advocate of the Year award.
“I am truly honored to receive this award,” said Saenger. “Although teaching is my first priority, the fight for equity and justice is a close second. It's rewarding to be recognized in this way by such a reputable faculty organization.”
For more than 65 years, FACCC has taken an integrated approach to advocacy, combining expert analysis, grass roots activity, direct lobbying, and strategic campaign work, all in an effort to serve California Community Colleges faculty.
In 2017-18, Saenger, who teaches both credit and noncredit classes, received the Hayward Award for Excellence in Education from the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges.

FA SBCC
INTRODUCTION:
The Santa Barbara City College Faculty Association (FA) is the collective bargaining agent for all faculty, both regular and adjunct, at SBCC. The Association's primary role is to negotiate with the District for salaries, benefits, and working conditions for the faculty. In addition, the Association assists individual faculty in the event of employment-related disputes and helps to ensure that faculty members understand and enjoy the rights to which they are entitled. In the process of this, the Association monitors both the activities of the District as well as developing changes in the law and employment practices in an effort to improve the working environment for faculty and the College as a whole.
The FA is an independent association, not affiliated with any larger collective bargaining organizations such as AFT, CTA, or the AAUP. The FA is a member of the California Community College Independents (CCCI), which is a consortium of other independent, community college bargaining agents from around the state. Currently, there are fifteen such independent organizations. Through CCCI, the FA shares information, strategies, and approaches to common issues. Additionally, the President of CCCI represents the Independents on the California Community College Consultation Council in Sacramento, as well as the Council of Faculty Organizations (COFO). Thus, through CCCI, your Faculty Association has direct input into the policy-making process of the system-wide Chancellor and Board of Governors.
SBCC has a long and productive history of shared governance through the Academic Senate. Because of this, faculty interests in the areas of governance, academic policies, and other academic and professional matters are represented through the Senate. The FA focuses on salary, benefits, and working conditions for faculty. Resulting in a "thin" contract. The FA and the Senate maintain a liaison relationship that works to complement the efforts of each body, and in the long run, bring the greatest benefit to the faculty and the college.
FA SBCC
La Asociación de Profesores del Colegio de la Ciudad de Santa Bárbara (FA, por sus siglas en inglés) es el agente de negociación colectiva para todos los profesores, tanto regulares como adjuntos, en SBCC. La función principal de la Asociación es negociar con el Distrito los salarios, los beneficios y las condiciones laborales de la facultad. Además, la Asociación ayuda a los profesores individualmente, en caso de disputas laborales y ayuda a garantizar que los miembros del profesorado comprendan y disfruten de los derechos que les corresponden. En el proceso, la Asociación monitorea tanto las actividades del Distrito como el desarrollo de cambios en la ley y las prácticas laborales en un esfuerzo por mejorar el ambiente de trabajo para los profesores y el Colegio en general.
La FA es una asociación independiente, no afiliada a ninguna organización de negociación colectiva más grande como AFT, CTA o AAUP. La FA es miembro de California Community College Independents (CCCI), que es un consorcio de otros agentes independientes de negociación de universidades comunitarias de todo el estado. Actualmente hay quince organizaciones independientes de este tipo. A través de CCCI, la FA comparte información, estrategias y enfoques para problemas comunes. Además, el presidente de CCCI representa a los independientes en el Consejo de Consulta del Colegio Comunitario de California en Sacramento, así como al Consejo de Organizaciones Docentes (COFO). Por lo tanto, a través de CCCI, su Asociación de Profesores participa directamente en el proceso de formulación de políticas del Canciller y la Junta de Gobernadores de todo el sistema.
SBCC tiene una larga y productiva historia de gobierno compartido a través del Senado Académico. Debido a esto, los intereses de la facultad en las áreas de gobernanza, políticas académicas y otros asuntos académicos y profesionales están representados a través del Senado.
La FA se centra en el salario, los beneficios y las condiciones laborales de los profesores. Dando como resultado un contrato "pequeño." La FA y el Senado mantienen una relación de unión que trabaja para complementar los esfuerzos de cada organismo y, a la larga, brindar el mayor beneficio a la facultad y la universidad.
