LOS ANGELES—Faculty members at California State University (CSU) campuses are expected to return to work Jan. 23 after a tentative agreement was reached with the California Faculty Association (CFA), ending the union’s planned five-day systemwide strike after one day.
The agreement includes a 5 percent general salary increase for all faculty retroactive to July 1, 2023, a 5 percent general salary increase for all faculty on July 1, 2024, (contingent on the state not reducing base funding to the CSU), raising the salary floor for the lowest-paid faculty in salary ranges A and B and a 2.65 percent salary step increase for the 2024–25 academic year, association President Charles Toombs announced Monday night.
