The San Mateo Community College District must be held accountable because its financial and policy decisions have created a clear pattern of inequity and noncompliance that harms both faculty and students. Despite an 88% increase in unrestricted fund revenues between 2015 and 2024, the District has been out of compliance with the state-mandated 50% Law for a full decade, resulting in an $88 million shortfall in spending on instructional salaries and benefits - the very work that directly shapes student learning. SMCCCD now ranks last in compliance among all 73 California community college districts, even though most faculty qualify as low-income and have been negotiating for eight months for fair compensation. While faculty have received less than 1% in raises, the District benefits from annual 7% revenue increases from local property taxes and has continued to increase salaries for top administrators, including a Chancellor earning nearly $400,000 a year - more than double what most faculty make. Six years ago, the District committed to equitable pay for faculty, yet it never set a timeline and has failed to make progress, prioritizing administrative raises instead. This long-term neglect of legally required spending, broken commitments, and widening pay disparities makes accountability not just necessary, but urgent.
