THE ACTION 2000 Coalition, a group of statewide faculty organizations working to promote equal pay for part-time community college instructors, hereby declares April 3 - 7, 2000 to be "Part Time Faculty Equity Week" throughout the State of California. Adjunct faculty comprise nearly two-thirds of all instructors in the community college system, yet they are paid on average only 37 percent of what full-time faculty make when teaching the same class.

Decrying the pay disparity between full-time and part-time faculty are the organizational members of the coalition: CFT (California Federation of Teachers), CPFA (California Part-Time Faculty Association), CTA (California Teachers Association), CWA (Communiations Workers of America), FACCC (Faculty Association of California Community Colleges). There is also active participation by members of CCCI (Community College Council of Independents).
