Any community college faculty member who instructs in a four-year state institution of higher education maintained on the campus of the community college pursuant to contracts entered into between the Trustees of the California State University and the district, shall, without regard to subject or grade taught, whether of community college level or higher, acquire and retain all rights to employment in the district the same as though the employee were teaching exclusively in a community college of the district. However, nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the employee from resigning from employment in the district pursuant to the provisions of Section 87730.

(Amended by Stats. 1990, Ch. 1302, Sec. 71. Effective September 25, 1990.)
