“This demonstrates our commitment to providing our students with exceptional academic instruction, counseling and library services,” said Gregory Smith, acting chancellor of the SDCCD.
San Diego Miramar College and the San Diego College of Continuing Education each will hire four new faculty members, while San Diego Mesa College and San Diego City College will hire three new faculty members.
The state funding was created as part of an effort with the California community college system following an infusion of $100 million that was included in the state’s 2021-2022 budget. The community college system has a goal of having 75% of its faculty be full-time, and state officials believe hiring more full-time faculty assists in achieving the system’s diversity, equity and inclusion goals.
The timing of the new hires could not be better. Enrollment across the SDCCD is up 12 percent compared with fall 2022. The surge in student demand has nearly reversed enrollment lost during the COVID-19 pandemic.
