Hi, Folks,
Like many people in the working world, some faculty on our campus are talking about the possibility of teaching their entire load online post-covid. Two questions that came up: is there anything in Ed Code that allows or prevents faculty from doing so? Also, if faculty are allowed to teach entirely online and are not required to come to campus, do faculty have to live in California (according to Ed Code or some other statute)?
We at ECC currently have an unofficial policy where full time faculty can only teach 2 classes online per semester which we are trying to change (however, sometimes the unofficial policies are harder to change than the official ones).
I also know local contracts usually deal with being on campus. Ours at ECC was just changed to require faculty to be on campus three days a week (from a from a four day/week requirement).
Any help with this is appreciated.

Hi Peter,
As John said, nothing in Ed Code or Title 5 addresses this at all. A lot of places do have contract language on the matter, but, again as John said, that is local.
I would add that it would worry me from a point of view of keeping people engaged with governance and other activities in campus. You do want the faculty to be active, not only with the senate and the union and things like that but also with student clubs and events. If they are allowed to teach fully online and are never on campus, I would worry about how that would work. But that is just me, someone who loathes online meetings. The more things get put online, the closer I get to retirement. 😊
