Opinion: I'm a CSU professor, and the administration's response to faculty needs is an insult

California State University (CSU) management imposed a 5% salary increase for faculty, which is seen as insulting to educators, especially considering the inflation rate since 2021.
CSU faculty have lost 10% in purchasing power since 2021 and the proposed 5% increase falls far short of the 12% raise requested by the California Faculty Assn. (CFA).

Cal State faculty just got a 5% raise. Here's why they're upset.

California State University officials are raising faculty pay by 5%, rejecting demands for higher increases and ending contract negotiations with the faculty union.
The pay increase is far from the 12% increase sought by the California Faculty Assn., who argued that the salary demands were financially viable and would have resulted in layoffs and cuts.
