AFT, Local 1388 - Dr. Angela Simon
The nomination forms were sent out for officers and the ballots will be sent out May 10,
2001.
President - Dr. Thomas M. Fallo
1. The May revise numbers will be available next week at this time. This will give us an
idea as to how the energy crisis will affect the budget. There are more considerations for
cuts, but education is supposed to be protected. There is some scrutiny of higher
education and hopefully we are not considered higher education.
2. The assembly committee for higher education had a withdrawal of our science building
project, which was pulled by a local assemblyman. We are working on getting this
funding reinstated.
3. The Legislative Analyst’s Office has proposed to require the University of California
and California State University to create a “transfer proficiency exam” and test all
community college transfer students for reading and mathematics proficiency. The UC,
CSU and community college groups are all opposed to this language and are developing
strong legislative opposition.
