The CSU faculty voted to go on strike, citing low pay and rising student costs as concerns. What is your position on this?

it looks like the students are behind the faculty on this strike thing.
i thought so.
you can't buy votes for a few slices of pizza.
will there be some protests?

the walk outs are scheduled to begin april 10 at two CSU campuses including over at CSULA. our campus is not listed among the first wave so if this thing drags on there won't be a lot of classes meeting later in the term.

bad news.
was hoping to get out of some classes.
senioritis is creeping in as it gets warmer outside.
