Vallejo Times-Herald: Solano Community College professors decry low wages

As contract talks near an impasse, a teacher salary survey shows Solano Community College near the bottom of the pack in California, according to the school’s faculty union.

Solano Community College ranks 63rd out of 72 California community college districts in salaries for first-year instructors with master’s degrees, chief faculty negotiator Terri Pearson-Bloom told the board of trustees this week. Some pay as much as $11,930 a year more, she said.
