Section 1 of Chapter 205, Laws of 1973, ex. sess. amending the provisions of Chapter 28B.52 RCW, concerning professional negotiations by academic employees in community college districts, expressly excludes “administrators” from the definition of an “academic employee” and thereby excludes administrators from the bargaining unit by definition.

(3) “Administrator” means any person employed either full or part time by the college district and who performs administrative functions as at least fifty percent or more of his or her assignments, and has responsibilities to hire, dismiss, or discipline other employees. Administrators shall not be members of the bargaining unit unless a majority of such administrators and a majority of the bargaining unit elect by secret ballot for such inclusion pursuant to rules as adopted in accordance with RCW 28B.52.080.

Policy Review History

Reviewed: November 2018
Revised: January 1982, March 2006

Review and Revision refers to the College’s cyclical process for evaluating and updating all institutional policies and procedures. At minimum, each policy or procedure will undergo review once every five years to ensure accuracy, relevance, and alignment with current practices and regulatory requirements. If the scheduled review results in no changes, the date of that review will be recorded in the Reviewed field. If updates or edits are made, the date will be recorded in the Revised field. This process maintains transparency regarding the history of each policy or procedure and ensures the College remains responsive to evolving needs and standards.
