Academic Senate

San Francisco State University

RESOLUTION ON TENTATIVE AGREEMENT

#RS-191

Whereas Faculty in the California State University (CSU) have now been working without a contract for nearly a year; and

Whereas Bargaining for a successor contract has been dangerously adversarial even through the final stages of the fact-finding process; and

Whereas The California Faculty Association (CFA) and the CSU have now, after these long and arduous discussions, developed a tentative agreement for a successor contract for teaching faculty, librarians, and counselors in the CSU; therefore let it be

Resolved That the Academic Senate of San Francisco State University applaud the Parties for addressing the numerous and complex issues in language

that will produce more equitable and dignified treatment of all faculty;

and further be it

Resolved That the Academic Senate of San Francisco State University thank those individuals who committed themselves for many months to the cause of faculty in the CSU and to the larger goals of higher education in general; and further be it

Resolved That a copy of this resolution be sent to the President of the CFA, the Chair of the Academic Senate CSU, the chairs of the campus senates, the Chancellor of the CSU, and the Chair of the Board of Trustees of the CSU.

***APPROVED MARCH 5, 2002***
