A message to the famnlnes and friends of todagfs graduates . . The teaching faculty, librarians, and counselors who are members of the Massachusetts Community College Council share your pride and happiness, as your sons and daughters, wives and husbands, brothers and sisters, neighbors, friends, and relatives graduate today. They richly deserve our praise, because they have worked hard for their degrees. As their teachers and guides, we have also dedicated a great deal of time and expertise to their education. Unfortunately, we are not receiving commensurate support for our efforts from the college administration. We have just finished an entire academic year working without a collective bargaining contract. We have not received a raise in two years, while maintaining the dubious honor of being among the lowest-paid community college faculty in the nation. The primary reason for this situation is the intransigence of the state Board of Regents of Higher Education, and the college presidents who, during 18 months of negotiations, have insisted upon unreasonable increases in our workload Cwhich would be detrimental to quality educationi, painfully small pay increases, and patronage-style pay raises for a few people selected by the college administration Cwhich, if implemented, would only serve to pit faculty members against each otherl. A recent study revealed that the average community college teacher spends more than S0 hours a week teaching, planning, and attending meetings. Most of us either continue our own education or teach Hcontinuing educationn courses between semesters in order to improve the quality of education we provide our students, and to supplement our incomes. The pay for the average Massachusetts community college teacher is less than the starting-pay for postal employees. We urge you to tell your college president, state representative, state senator, and Gov. Dukakis that we deserve better treatment, and that they should instruct the Board of Regents to sign a fair contract with us. Please: Help us to maintain one of the Com onwealth's most valuable resources -- its system of community colleges. -- Your Faculty and Professional Staff
