Abstract	A study was conducted to compare the faculty personnel policies of the nine City Colleges of Chicago with those of 31 selected urban community colleges across the country having enrollments of not less than 5,000. Areas examined included faculty salaries, overload compensation, compensation for faculty who substitute for absent faculty, nature of the administrative structure, role of the departmental chairperson, released time for union officers, faculty workload, restrictions on use of part-time faculty, class size constraints, outside employment limitations, leaves of absence, and fringe benefits. It was found that the Chicago colleges were at the upper end of the scale with respect to economic issues, required a light (12 hours) teaching load, unduly restricted class size, made minimal demands of their employees, overly subsidized union officers' activities, had major differences in contracts for each college although all colleges belonged to one bargaining unit, and paid higher salaries than did non-unionized institutions. Numerous recommendations were made to the City Colleges' governing board so that, in upcoming negotiations, the board could attempt to bring their institutions into line with national or regional norms relative to contractual faculty personnel policies. A review of trends in collective bargaining and analyses of survey data for each issue area are included in the report. (JDS)
