Cal Poly faculty members march at CSU Board of Trustees meeting in Long Beach

Cal Poly CFA

California State University (CSU) faculty members took their salary concerns to the institution's main headquarters on Tuesday. 

A group of an estimated 1000 people—including a couple dozen from Cal Poly—marched outside the Board of Trustees' meeting at the Chancellor's office in Long Beach.

Earlier this month, California Faculty Association (CFA) members voted overwhelmingly to approve a strike should negotiations fail. The process is currently in a fact finding stage.

The CFA is asking for a five percent general salary increase for all faculty, while CSU management is offering a two percent increase for faculty in the second year of the contract.
