CFA agreement not enough!

April 10, 2016 by Archived posts 382 Comments

By Kyle Richardson |Staff Writer| It is finally a done deal. But is it a good one? The California Faculty Association (CFA) and California State University (CSU) officials have reached a "tentative agreement." The agreement came as a result after CFA members threatened to strike across CSU campuses. "This agreement represents a strong step forward for salary stability for the faculty and their families," said CFA president Jennifer Eagan, according to CFA.

By Crystal Norman | Staff Writer | California Faculty Association (CFA) Trustees were presented with a “Sustainability Plan” by CSU schools at a conference in Long Beach this past week and immediately rejected the proposal, according to the CFA.   The proposal focuses on increasing reliance in private funding and student tuition instead of public support to pay for CSU professors and faculty salary increases, according to calfac.org.   “It is time that the trustees examine their budget as a moral document, one that should put our core mission of instruction at the center, keep tuition as low as possible to ensure access to the people of California, and pay faculty a … [Read more...] about “Sustainability Plan” denied by CFA
