Last week, CFA joined the family of murdered CSU student David Josiah Lawson in calling on California State Attorney General Xavier Becerra to step into the criminal investigation.
There are less than four weeks until the Nov. 6 election and CFA activists are hard at work volunteering time and energy to ensure that candidates who will stand up for the CSU are elected.
Despite broad, bi-partisan support among state legislators, Governor Brown has vetoed SB 968, a bill to improve student access to mental health counseling on California State University campuses.
CFA Associate Vice President Rafael Gómez said of the meeting on Monday at his own Monterey Bay campus that, “It was very gratifying to see that our chapter is a place where colleagues come to look for kindred spirits who will work to find answers and support about the many professional challenges we face every day.”
In the latest episode of our podcast, Radio Free CSU focuses on the story of David Josiah Lawson, a Humboldt State student who was murdered near campus on April 15, 2017.
To date, his homicide remains unsolved, and we have joined with Josiah Lawson’s family and others in urging Attorney General Xavier Becerra to take over the investigation.
Long-term Lecturers and non-tenure-track (“temporary”) Librarians can increase their salaries through the Range Elevation process and move from one salary range to the next (e.g., Range A to B, B to C, or C to D). A salary increase of at least 5 percent comes with Range Elevation.
Under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, Lecturers and Temporary Librarians are eligible to apply for Range Elevation if they have worked for five years in their range and are at or above the “SSI Max” (meaning capped out in the salary range).

Under the old law, not even prosecutors have been allowed direct access to records of officers found guilty of misconduct. More than half of states in the country make some or all police misconduct records available to the public.
