Let's denote:

 

P = number of professors

 

L = number of lecturers

 

We know:

 

P + L = 228 (total faculty members)

 

P = 5 * L (5 professors for every 14 lecturers)

 

Substituting the second equation into the first:

 

5 * L + L = 228

 

6 * L = 228

 

L = 228 / 6

 

L = 38

 

Now, we can find the number of professors:

 

P = 5 * L

 

P = 5 * 38

 

P = 190

 

Therefore, the community college employs:

 

190 professors

 

38 lecturers

 

In total, they employ 228 faculty members.
