The Cal State Board of Trustees approved a plan Tuesday to raise faculty salaries by 10.5% over three years, capping a long-running dispute over pay that threatened to wreak havoc on the nation’s largest public university system.
The board’s Committee on Collective Bargaining voted unanimously to implement an agreement that was negotiated by university administrators and the California Faculty Assn. last month. The last-minute deal averted a planned five-day strike that would have disrupted operations across all 23 Cal State campuses.
CSU Chancellor Timothy P. White, said he was grateful the trustees ratified the agreement. He emphasized the important role that Cal State’s more than 26,000 professors, lecturers, coaches, librarians and counselors play in enabling university priorities, such as student achievement and degree completion.
