Feeling overworked and underpaid as a faculty member?
In my short academic career, I was just a lowly adjunct. I expected poor pay and treatment. But I was surprised that some permanent tenured professors at some schools aren’t treated with the respect they deserve.
Such is the case for the faculty at California State University, Sacramento.
On the first day of school last week, they didn’t go on strike — but they did set up an informational picket on their issue.
Members of the California Faculty Association Capitol Chapter think the offer of a 2 percent salary increase just isn’t fair.
The California State University Chancellor’s Office issued a statement:
“The California State University supports and values its faculty. With contract negotiations underway at the system level, we are unable to provide additional comment.”
