MICHAEL MUNOZ Daily Titan

The California Faculty Association’s (CFA) in-person vote for a strike will conclude at Cal State Fullerton this week. Delegate faculty will still be able to vote online. The first week of voting has resulted in a substantial amount of faculty casting their ballots. “The turnout has been very good,” said Brian Ferguson, CFA communications specialist. “Faculty have been responding enthusiastically with this … We see anecdotally that faculty are turning out in large numbers in support of CFA.” The vote to strike comes from 22 months of contract negotiations between the CFA and California State University management. The mediation stage of contract negotiations has resulted in disagreements between the two organizations. Mediation failures have resulted in the CFA taking a vote on whether or not to strike. A major strike could result in WILLIAM CAMARGO / Daily Titan leaving many or all CSU campuses Matthew Walters, a senior and member of CSUF Young Americans for Liberty, walks with an American flag in front of the sign displaying the figures of the current United States national deficit. empty of, potentially, thousands of professors as early as fall 2012, leaving 400,000 students without faculty to teach them, according to TECH | Project network a CFA press release. “We are unable to reach Student-run website promotes sharing and collaboration agreement through mediation … (The vote) basically authorizes YesYous.com gives Sites like LinkedIn attempt to fill the gap Smith, 26, a business administration major and education more prominently. the board of directors of the CFA students a place to show between social media and career start-up, but at CSUF, referred to YesYous.com as a “resume Where the site truly differs is in its project’s the authority to call a strike if the off what they have done some deficiencies remain with how students enhancer.” As a business student, Smith said features, which came from YesYous.com founder bargaining process comes to an end can showcase projects and collaborations in a he has learned collaboration on projects and Hasan Almatrouk, an electrical engineering without a settlement,” said CFA Vice RICARDO GONZALEZ controlled environment. working in groups is a desired workplace trait, major at CSUF, who wanted an easier way to President Kim Geron, Ph.D., an Daily Titan YesYous.com, a site founded by students for yet something very difficult to show on a share projects with his brother. associate professor in the Economics With graduation commencement rapidly the benefit of students, is attempting to fill in standard resume. “(He) had no way of learning more about Department at California State approaching and Cal State Fullerton students some of those holes. “Before YesYous, there was no way to see all his brother’s graduation project except for some University, East Bay. soon heading toward their career paths, the “With YesYous, now we can see some of the those cool projects in one place,” Smith said.
