I feel like my legs need to breathe when walking from class to class. Anything in the name of keeping a consistent clothing style and/ or covering your calves I guess 🙏✌️

Howdy folks. You may already have heard that a strike could occur this semester. This post is meant to inform everyone of the current state of bargaining and possible future actions. I am a member of the union, but not a union representative, so please correct me if I make an error.

The California Faculty Association (CFA) in a union representing around 29,000 professors, lecturers, librarians, counselors, and coaches across the entire CSU system. It has been bargaining with the CSU management for a long time (over a year I think), but the two sides have not been able to come to an agreement yet. Currently, the CFA and CSU are at an impasse and are entering a mediation phase where a third party will try to help reach an agreement. If this does not work, there will be a fact-finding panel which reviews all the information presented by both sides and make a recommendation. If there is still no agreement, the CSU can impose their position, at which time the union members can vote to strike.

We don't know exactly how long it would take to get from mediation to striking, but a strike in fall semester definitely is possible. Hopefully, we can get a resolution and avoid a strike, but if a strike occurs you would get a lot of warning in advance.

Attached is a document created by the CFA listing the CFA's proposal and CSU management's proposal. There are several issues listed on the document, but salary is probably the biggest issue for the most CFA members. We have not received a raise in over year as the negotiations have dragged on, and the CSU wants to give us a one-time 3% lump sum for the past academic year (it is like a 3% bonus instead of a 3% raise, which matters a lot over the course of one's career and impacts one's pension too). Quite frankly, the 3% lump sum idea is insulting. They also only want to give us a 3% raise for the current year, which means we wouldn't keep up with inflation.

I'll post an update when something important happens in the future.

thought you should know

Anyone know where I can take a nap on campus? I’m so tired 😔🙏

Anybody wanna play some catch with a baseball any of these days? Shoot me a dm and I’ll give you my insta.

We actually have a lot of displays up at the Library right now. There's one on the 2nd floor dealing with the college experience, and of course there's the option to name our new skeleton. Come check us out (pun intended.)

Anyone play magic the gathering on campus? Looking for people to play commander with.

Promote yourself please

First week back, calves are sore, face is burnt, water from my body has escaped from how much I've been sweating, professors are lowkey evil. Oh how I missed my beautiful campus.

I’m at the bar stools about to eat a burger when I notice these sad lost AirPods….. someone get your baby 💔

I’m taking FRL 3000 this semester with Roman Galgarian, but I’m considering dropping it and taking it in the spring instead.
So far I’m having a hard time with his teaching style. We don’t really have traditional homework(actually none), and he said exams won’t allow cheat sheets and that we’ll get a study guide about a week before each exam.
For anyone who has taken FRL 3000, would you recommend sticking it out this semester or waiting until spring and trying to get a different professor?
Spring is also supposed to be my last semester before graduating, which is the main thing making me nervous about waiting. Most of my other classes that semester would be marketing courses, though, so I feel like I might have more time to focus on FRL.
Would appreciate any advice or professor recommendations!

Hi!
I am an industrial engineering freshman who wants to get involved into some activities.

I applied to CPP FSAE but the project to be accepted is way too advanced for me, it includes a full CAD model (I never used CAD), and a presentation about it.

So I might scrap my plan of trying to get into CPP FSAE. But the next program that really interests me are the Rose Float, CPP Baja SAE, And SHPE (Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers).

I’m curious how the workload is from current, or past, students who have been involved in any of them. How are they in general? And is it a good idea to be involved in multiple organizations?

Canvas is gone again….?

Why are the IME 4020 and 4030 classes required for every engineering major expect chemical? For chemical they are only recommended, not mandatory

They.are starting from the right side

I am wondering if Professors are able to see the classes that students in their course are enrolled in. Thank you for any responses.

I’m from Pasadena and I want to try to take the metro to/from school, but I’m not sure how…Like I know there’s the bronco bus or something that we have to take TO the station but I’m not sure where to go. If anyone has taken the new Metro line, can you give me some information pls. 🙏🏽

I live in the residential halls and I was wondering what food delivery service can actually deliver to the halls? I know they had a sign on the front door saying something about how the delivery drivers can come in but someone told me that the school is partnered with grubhub. What’s your guys experience with that?

Have you received any emails to confirm your degree. I’m currently in the process of applying to grad school and I need to confirm my bachelors.

It’s been a few weeks since Summer session finished.
