On Wednesday, April 4, the California Faculty Association reached an agreement in the labor dispute with the office of CSU Chancellor Charles Reed that provided for raises for faculty of 24.87 percent over the next four years.
The base salary increases will raise the average salary for a tenure track faculty member from $74,000 to $90,749 and the average salary for a full time, full professor with tenure from $86,000 to $105,465 by the end of the contract period.
In addition to these increases, $28 million will be provided in the form of merit and equity increases that will provide raises for senior faculty who have reached the top of the pay scale, as well as boost junior faculty compensation. The CSU will seek an additional one percent increase for all employees’ compensation in state budget funds in each of the next three years.
The total package will cost the CSU $400 million over the next four years. The terms of the agreement were based largely on the information ascertained by the independent fact-finding panel that was brought in to assess the claims made by both sides. CSULB students were notified of the agreement through a mass email sent by President Alexander on the same day the deal was reached.
