Gavilan's full-time faculty earn an annual average of $65,000 and a $2,700 annual stipend or doctorate degrees, plus their benefits package, which adds up to about $16,000 a year, said Williams.

And if a full-time position opens up, part time professors have to apply just like everyone else.

"Part time faculty (are) still considered temporary employees so they have to compete with other applicants," said Williams.
