For the last several years David Milroy, a part-timer since 1988 at Grossmont, Southwestern and MiraCosta colleges, has been part of a determined battle for parity–“equality in amount, status, or value”–with his full-time counterparts in California’s community colleges. Gains have been made, but those gains have been slow, inconsistent and inadequate, partly because parity legislation allows each district–like Humpty-Dumpty–to negotiate its own definition of parity.
“When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean,” says Humpty-Dumpty, “neither more nor less.”

It’s crunch time again! The end of the semester has arrived in all its stressed-out glory—the piles of ungraded student work; the looming deadline to get in your final grades; MIA students, who show up whimpering, “If I don’t pass this class, I can’t graduate. My grandma’s coming out from Des Moines to see me walk. She’s 97! You gotta help me!”; and students who bring typed up complaints to staple to their teacher evaluations.
