CSU professors to be paid for protest day - Phillip Matier, Andrew Ross, SF Chronicle

California State University East Bay professors who played hooky to protest state budget cuts - but then put in for a full day's pay - are getting a pass from the system's chancellor. "Following the California Faculty Association's one-day strike at California State Universities Dominguez Hills and East Bay on Nov. 17, 2011, faculty on your campuses were asked to properly report their time for that day," CSU Chancellor Charles Reed wrote in a Feb. 13 memo.
