On Thursday, faculty of California State University campuses announced that they would be postponing a strike they had scheduled to happen next week. The teachers have reached a tentative agreement that may put an end to salary disputes. The strike, which was supposed to begin next Wednesday and last for five days, would have caused major disruptions across campuses in California. The faculty argue that they are underpaid in comparison to their colleagues and demand a 5% wage increase. During negotiations, University officials maintained that they could only afford a 2% increase for these faculty. Details of the contract will be released on Friday.
