We are a union of 29,000 professors, lecturers, librarians, counselors, and coaches who teach and deliver student support services in the California State University system. Across the 23 CSU campuses, CFA members work hard to teach our students the critical-thinking skills, the technical know-how and the cultural insights they need to be thoughtful, productive, and artistic participants in our society. We help to prepare California’s teachers, nurses, engineers, local and state officials, journalists, filmmakers and countless others who come through the CSU for an education. The CSU is the largest four-year university system in the United States. By original design, it exists to provide an opportunity for everyone seeking higher education.
