Challenges we face in 2017
Pensions, health benefits, academic freedom and tenure, CSU funding, and negotiating a new contract

Last year brought us both good and bad tidings, to say the least, and before outlining challenges we will face in 2017, we want to note two important successes from 2016 in which so many of you participated.

First and foremost, through the hard work and support of hundreds of HSU faculty members (and many thousands more throughout the CSU), we won a 10.5 percent pay raise for all faculty members.  We showed what we can accomplish when the faculty is unified.  (And, we have the next installment of the pay raise — 3.5 percent on July 1 — to look forward to.)

CFA Statement on the Murder of George Floyd

George Floyd’s public execution is shocking, but not surprising given the persistence of anti-Black racism and white supremacy that dehumanizes Black people. It is one in a long chain of similar transgressions and murders, most recently including Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, and people are taking to the streets because the United States failed to address this. CFA is a union representing faculty in the California State University System, one that is dedicated to anti-racism and social justice.
