On November 8th, Faculty members at CSU Sacramento will be picketing at the J Street entrance to campus from 7:30-10:00am.  We are protesting the lack of progress on our current contract, the imposition against the factfinders recommendation of our last contract, the increased workload put on all of us and the overall poor leadership of Chancellor Reed.

Faculty are asked to wear their regalia.  Picket signs and picket making materials will be available, but faculty are also encouraged to bring their own visuals.

Students at Sacramento State waged a three-day sit-in in the campus administration building beginning April 13, calling on the campus president to commit to a moratorium on new pay and perks for university management and to support legislation for greater transparency and funding for the CSU.

The sit-in was ended forcibly early Saturday morning via a police raid involving officers in riot gear.

Welcome Back,

I hope you’ve had a rejuvenating holiday break and are looking forward to your students, classes, and research this coming term. I know I am.

It’s spring, the budget is (up) in the air, we’re in full contract bargaining, and in those famous words of Yogi Bera, “It’s like Déjà vu all over again.” So let’s roll up our sleeves and get right to it.

Follow the Money
By Lois Boulgarides & Kevin Wehr

October 13, 2010

Here at CFA we get a lot of information on the “down low”. Sometimes this comes in the form of an anonymous letter detailing an interesting political situation on campus. Sometimes it is a student who thinks something sounds fishy, and wants some faculty input. Sometimes it is rumor, gossip, or innuendo. Most of the time we either can’t fully document the situation, or we don’t make it public because those faculty involved do not wish to go on the record. But these juicy pieces of information have been coming fast and furious these days.

Bargaining Information: Equity--We’re Still not Caught Up
By Kevin Wehr

October 13, 2010

Several issues from the last contract have finally been wrapped up, however. The first is that a small bit of money was left over from the implementation of the PPI program for senior Full Professor faculty. The contract stipulated that any rollover money go into a General Salary Increase for all faculty. Because of the small amount of money and the large number of faculty in the system, this amounted to a .045% increase. It may seem like peanuts, but it goes into our base salary. So buy yourself something pretty.

Chancellor’s Office Threatens Takebacks in 2010-2011 Contract Bargaining
by Lois Boulgarides, CFA Capitol Chapter President

October 13, 2010

After 2 weeks of intensive bargaining, the Chancellor’s Office has proposed takebacks that would have severe consequences for lecturers, faculty evaluation, and for faculty governance. The proposals centered on Article 12 of the Contract (appointments), Article 15 (evaluations), and Article 38 (layoffs), and involved taking evaluation and layoff decisions away from departments and faculty, and instead, making these decisions controlled by campus presidents and their designees. In essence, faculty would be stripped of departmental voice in these areas.
