"California State University and Faculty Reach Tentative Agreement to End Strike"

Faculty members at California State University, the nation’s largest four-year public university system, have ended their one-day strike after reaching a tentative agreement with the administration on pay and benefits. The deal includes a 5 percent pay increase retroactively from July 1, 2023, and a further 5 percent starting July 1 this year, contingent on state funding. The agreement also extends paid parental leave and raises the minimum salary for the lowest-paid faculty members, affecting almost 460,000 students.
