On page 5, beginning on line 16 of the striking amendment, after "Sec. 5." strike all material through "2024" on page 6, line 11 and insert: "ADJUNCT FACULTY SALARY AND BENEFITS. The legislature recognizes the important role of adjunct faculty at community and technical colleges that serve the vital role of educating students in a field which they are also employed or have recently been employed. Adjunct faculty often serve as informal counselors and mentors to students who look to them for education and career advice which increases student outcomes and success, especially for first generation and underserved students. The legislature therefore intends to increase the salary and benefits of adjunct faculty at community and technical colleges to the extent that specific funding for this purpose is provided in the omnibus appropriations act"

EFFECT:

Strikes the current section 5 of the bill which created a legislative goal of increasing full-time tenured positions at community and technical colleges by 200 for the 2021-23 fiscal biennium, and it included a data collection and reporting requirement.

Replaces the legislative goal of 200 new full-time tenured positions with legislative intent to increase salary and benefits of adjunct faculty at community and technical colleges if specific funding is provided in the operating budget.
