LONG BEACH — More than 1,000 California State University faculty, and their students, took to the streets, Nov. 17, outside the chancellor’s office in Long Beach.
The group was demanding a 5 percent raise in the midst of negotiations between the CSU Board of Trustees and California Faculty Association representatives.
The CSU Chancellor’s Office and the association are in mediation for 2015-2016 salaries. In October the chancellor’s office rejected a 5 percent general salary increase and the association rejected a 2 percent increase that the office offered instead. The association, which represents faculty in the 23 CSU campuses, voted ended up voting for a strike.
According to the association, the average salary is about $45,000 a year. However, CSU officials say that is not exactly true. They contend that salaries for faculty range from $59,000 to $96,000.
