"Cal State System Strike Resolved in Record Time: Faculty Reach Tentative Agreement"

The California Faculty Association, representing faculty members across the California State University system, initiated a strike for better pay and benefits, but called it off after reaching a tentative agreement with CSU. The agreement includes an increase in paid parental leave and other concessions, although it falls short of the union's salary demand. The strike, the largest of its kind in at least a decade, was set to last a week but ended after one day.

CSU Faculty Unite in Daylong Strikes for Higher Wages

The faculty union of the California State University system is planning one-day strikes at four campuses this week, demanding a 12 percent wage increase to keep up with inflation. The strikes come at a crucial time during the school year, but union officials claim to have student support. The union also seeks expanded parental leave, more lactation rooms, and additional mental health workers. The university system argues it cannot afford the wage hike, offering a 15 percent increase over three years. The strikes were authorized by 95 percent of voting union members, and a smaller union of maintenance and electrical workers plans to strike next week.

Illinois Universities Reach Resolutions Amidst Faculty Strikes

The faculty union at Eastern Illinois University has suspended its strike, and classes will resume on April 14. The union announced its decision to pause while officially considering the administration’s offer. All members will vote to ratify the agreement sometime next week, but a date has not been set. The absence of a provision to do work missed during the strike made it a difficult choice, but the union hopes for a quick resolution so it doesn’t postpone the ratification vote.

Temple University President Jason Wingard Resigns After Turbulent Tenure

Jason Wingard has resigned as president of Temple University after less than two years, amid a tumultuous time at the university, including a graduate student strike, a shooting death of an on-duty Temple police sergeant, and a 14% enrollment decline since 2019. The Temple Association of University Professionals was preparing to hold a vote of no confidence in Wingard, and a letter by the school’s deans requested a meeting with the board over their concerns. The board plans to identify interim leadership and then move forward with a search for a new president.
