A Letter From The California Faculty Association

Dear Students:

Recently you may have noticed some of your professors wearing stickers that state "Face The Facts" and wondered what that was all about. Or, you might here overheard faculty talking among themselves about "imposition" and been puzzled. I hope this short letter from the faculty union (CFA) will explain what has been happening.

Last Spring and this Fall the faculty union has been engaged with Chancellor Reed and the CSU Board of Trustees in a process known as "reopener bargaining." In this process the CFA and the Chancellor have been negotiating over faculty salaries. Unfortunately the bargaining process failed to reach an agreement and at the end of the January the Chancellor unilaterally imposed salary terms on the faculty (thus the talk of imposition). By doing this, Chancellor Reed became the first public employer to impose salary conditions two years in a row on the same group of employees.. He did this even though the findings of a neutral mediator had supported very nearly all the arguments and positions of the faculty union (thus the "Face The Facts" stickers).

The CFA wants to let students at CSUSB know that we will continue to struggle for faculty working conditions that provide a framework through which our members—your professors—can provide you with a quality education. Although we will conduct this struggle vigorously, we will not let it jeopardize your education.

This Spring we will begin the process of bargaining a new faculty employment contract. As we do so we will keep students informed through letters like this one and open meetings on campus. We look forward to the support of students and their families as we fight for the future of the CSU. Thank you.
