SACS
report puts part-time faculty in jeopardy
Recent recommendations prompt North Lake to
trim, consolidate many adjunct positions
North Lake College has been forced
to make changes in order to maintain its accreditation.
As a result, by next fall your favorite faculty member
may no longer be teaching here.
Due to recommendations made by the Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools (SACS), the NLC administration
has had to adhere more stringently to guidelines that
have been set for faculty credentials, and may replace
some faculty members as a result. The administration
must also add full-time faculty in order to reach an
acceptable ratio of full-time to part-time contact hours.

of a number of parking spots that read, “Reserved
Senior Parking MON-FRI 6AM-2PM.”
These signs are part of a pilot program that was initially
started to help senior citizens who use the pool regularly
for aerobic and stretch exercises. Some seniors complained
to the head of physical education regarding problems
with parking.
