The California State University system and the union representing thousands of professors and lecturers reached a tentative deal on Monday to raise wages, ending what was the largest strike by university faculty members in U.S. history. The deal, announced by both sides on Monday night, came just hours after the California Faculty Association, the union that represents 29,000 professors, lecturers, librarians, counselors and coaches, began what was planned as a five-day walkout across the 23 C.S.U. campuses, which serve nearly 460,000 students. The tentative deal means that faculty at the nation’s largest four-year public university system will return to work on Tuesday, union officials said. “This deal immensely improves working conditions for faculty and strengthens learning conditions for students.”

Faculty and supporters picket during a strike at the California State University, Northridge campus in Los Angeles, California, US, on Monday, Jan. 22, 2024. Jill Connelly/Bloomberg/Getty ImagesVillanueva Bernal said one of her children attends a Cal State school, one of two public university systems in California. In a statement, Cal State said the CFA’s demand for a 12% raise, along with other economic demands, are “financially unrealistic.”“Their request far surpasses the state funding increase that the CSU received in last year’s state budget ($227 million) and is more than the entire budget of Cal Poly Pomona ($369 million),” Cal State said. The union has been bargaining with Cal State since May, and the university system has offered a 5% raise each year over three years. However, CFA has argued that Cal State can afford their proposals.
