Times-Standard Online - Union: CSU has $1.2B reserve

Teachers in the CSU system have voted to go on strike, what does that mean for the students?

First of all there is another meeting on Sunday, in which a settlement could be reached. The vote was not a vote for a strike but a vote to approve a strike motion.

If there is a strike, the strike would not shut down any of the CSU campuses. The agreement on both sides of this has been that the student's education is important. The form the strike will take will be what is being called, rolling strikes. Under this concept, each campus would strike for two days at a time. This could be disruptive to classes, but classes will continue. Teachers have talked about having classes in another location on those days, or in some cases where it can be done, to have class over the internet.

This is going to be an interesting debate, as many schools are operating with budget problems, and there has been talk of making cuts. Teachers are going to have to find a way to show that the CSU system can afford to pay them more. In doing so, the financial workings of the system will be exposed, and we may see some real data about the financial well being of the system come out. An example of this is the report by the union that the CSU system has a cash reserve of $1.2 billion. The administration was quick to defend itself claiming that these funds are not available for salaries, but are set aside for securing debt, and construction costs.

It would appear on Monday that the course of action should be clear on if the strike will take place.
