	"description": "Our community college educators are struggling to stay in the field as more colleges and universities continue to move away from using full-time faculty and become more reliant on part-time faculty. Many part-time faculty members are teaching more classes and working more hours than their full-time colleagues because they must take on multiple part-time positions at different institutions in in order to cover the high costs of housing, health care, and all of life’s other necessities. Subsequently, students aren&#x27;t receiving the access and support that they need to be successful because their instructors have such limited availability. Part-time faculty must meet the same requirements and have the same skills as faculty members who are hired into a full-time position, and they deserve to be paid as professionals and given benefits. OEA’s Part-Time Faculty Health Care Bill (HB 3007/SB 551) would grant state-subsidized healthcare coverage to part-time instructors so they can focus on educating and providing support to our community college students.",
