"California State University Faculty Prepare for Systemwide Strike"
Classes at California State University, Monterey Bay may be canceled for the entire week due to a looming faculty strike involving some 29,000 professors, lecturers, counselors, and coaches across all 23 CSU campuses. The strike, which will last five days, comes after seven months of failed contract talks, with faculty asking for a 12 percent pay raise but being offered 5 percent. CSU officials have stated that all campuses will remain open, but it's unclear how many classes will be affected. Some students plan to join faculty on the picket line in support of their cause.
