2007/08 Equity Program

  • CFA successfully negotiated a two-year Equity Program with $7 million (each year) dedicated to fund base salary increases for faculty experiencing salary inequities including salary inversion and low pay resulting from multiple years with no GSIs and no SSIs.
  • Year One addresses faculty who were Assistant Professors (and equivalent rank Counselors, Librarians, Coaches) as of July 1, 2007. Negotiations for Year Two, which covers Associate and Full Professors (and equivalents as above) are underway. See Article 31.17 of the current contract. The new program replaces the previous program.
  • A joint CFA/CSU committee has been working collaboratively for over 6 months and successfully negotiated a program without resorting to the mediation/arbitration process allowed in the contract. The Year One program incorporates key elements of the proposal CFA argued for as well as elements desired by CSU.
  • There is no application process. Awards will be calculated and processed for all faculty members who are eligible in time for the May 2008 paychecks. However, it is a good idea for faculty members in the eligible classifications to determine what their award amount should be so they can check to make sure the pay adjustment is done correctly.
  • Negotiations for the second year of the Equity Program (2008-09), which will address Associate and Full Professors (and equivalent rank Counselors, Librarians, and Coaches), are now underway. CFA will provide periodic updates on our progress in the negotiations.
