Mission

The Equivalency Committee's mission is to ensure that faculty members hired by the District, who do not directly meet minimum qualifications as stated in Minimum Qualifications for Faculty and Administrators in California Community Colleges, possess qualifications that are at least equivalent to the applicable minimum qualifications as per Education Code §87359.

  • Review comparable degree requests from department chairs and make recommendations to Academic Senate to approve or not approve;
  • Coordinate with Human Resources to answer questions about the equivalency process from applicants and department chairs;
  • Recommend changes as needed to AP7211.2 (Minimum Qualifications and Equivalencies) to Academic Senate; and
  • Recommend changes as needed to the "Instructions for Faculty Equivalency Requests" document.
