Abstract
Community colleges throughout the country are hiring many non-degree persons to fill their need for vocational and technical teachers. This study sought to determine how community colleges were currently determining the salaries of non-degree teachers and what problems had occurred as a result. It was hypothesized that (1) community colleges had not made definite salary schedule provisions for nondegree teachers and (2) no interpersonal problems between degree and non-degree teachers had resulted from the use of non-degree teachers. The data for the study were obtained through use of , a questionnaire sent to each community college in Iowa Illinois, plus selected community colleges in New York State and California. and The majority of the community colleges polled did not have a specific provision in their salary schedule to allow for non-degree teachers. They either negotiated directly with the non-degree teachers or arbitrarily based their salaries on a BA scale. Those schools which did have provisions in their salary schedule for non-degree teachers either provided a special non-degree lane or, in some way, equated industry experience with academic degrees and teaching experience. Some interpersonal problems between the non-degree teachers and degree teachers were found. It was determined that schools which had made definite salary schedule provisions for the non-degree teachers experienced fewer interpersonal problems. In general, the study showed the non-degree teachers were not well accepted in the predominantly masters degree-staffed community colleges but when the school had clearly provided on the salary schedule for these non-degree teachers, a minimum of problems were experienced.
