LOS ANGELES—Nearly 30,000 faculty members and other employees began a five-day strike against the California State University (CSU) system on the first day of the spring semester Jan. 22—while the university sought to downplay campus disruptions stemming from the massive walkout by citing “misinformation” about classes being canceled.
“Classes are not canceled,” the university said in a statement Monday. “Individual faculty members who decide to strike will cancel their own classes. Students should check their class portals or contact their professors to find out whether they intend to hold class this week.
