Good morning Faculty Colleagues,

I am happy to share that yesterday the Faculty Executive Council voted (20 – 3) to ratify the proposed 2025-2026 Residential Faculty Agreement.

We would like to thank RFACT for their work on our behalf, and we thank faculty for their engagement and feedback during the process.

The 2025-2026 RFA now goes through the following approval process;

  • The Governing Board first read in March.
  • The Governing Board second read  and vote in April.
  • July 1, 2025 the Residential Faculty Agreement becomes effective (if approved by the Governing Board).

All the best,
Ramona Goth

Welcome Back!

/in

Dear Faculty Colleagues,

Happy Tuesday and welcome back!  I hope that you had a restful break and have returned energized and ready for the Spring 2025 semester.

This semester will provide continued opportunities to help shape the work of our colleges and the futures of our students.  We worked together this past Fall to avoid a serious financial crisis by ensuring the passage of Prop 486, but the District must still determine how to move forward financially.  On January 14, at 4:30 pm, the Governing Board will host an Agenda Review and Study Session where Lee Ann Bohn, Chief Operating Officer, and Kim Granio, Vice Chancellor of Business Services, will explain the new Budget Allocation Model that will take effect in July 2025.  I encourage you to either attend the Governing Board Meeting in person at the Rio Salado College Conference Center or to watch the live stream meeting.

Throughout the Fall, the Faculty Association also hosted Brown Bag sessions conducted by our legal counsel Barton Mendez Soto.  Because of the popularity of these presentations, we are looking to host more Brown Bags this Spring.  If you have suggestions for topics that you would like covered, please let me know.

Finally, the Faculty Association will be migrating to a new and improved website this Spring.  Look for announcements and updates about the move.

The work we do makes a difference in the lives of our students and the strength of our community, and I want to thank you for the dedication, passion, and expertise that you bring to your colleges. Let’s continue to collaborate, support one another, and embrace the challenges and rewards that come with our important work. I look forward to the many achievements we will share this semester.

All the best,
Ramona Goth
Faculty Association President 2024-2025

End of the Semester Message

Dear Faculty Colleagues,

As we conclude another successful semester, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for your hard work, commitment, and the positive impact you continue to have on our students and community.

This semester was not only marked by your outstanding dedication to teaching and mentoring students,  but also by your commitment to supporting the work of your colleges. Your advocacy, outreach, and unwavering support were critical in the passing of Proposition 486. Thank you.

Thank you for your contributions to making this semester a success and for ensuring a brighter future for our students, our  institution and our community. I am proud to represent you as Faculty Association President.

I wish you a happy holiday season.

All the best,

Prop 486 Video Coming Soon

/in

On Thursday we are going to send those of you who opted in our video supporting Prop 486 in a text message on your phone.

We are asking you to help our grassroots campaign to pass 486 by sharing that video with your personal contacts who live in Maricopa County.  We would also like you to share the video on all your personal social media accounts.  The more we spread the word, the more likely we are to win!  If you see the video in someone else’s feed, be sure to “like” and “repost” the video.  Let’s use the algorithms to our advantage!

Also, mark Saturday 12 October on your calendar.  We will be hosting a car window painting party at the Faculty Association Office (more details coming soon).  If you haven’t already decorated your car windows to help spread the word about Prop 486, we’ll do it for you!  Watch for another email soon.

Thank you for supporting our students, our colleges, our colleagues by helping spread the word about Prop 486.

Your Faculty Association.
