faculty to sign a loyalty oath dating from the Cold War. Some campuses (most recently CSU Fullerton) have refused to hire academics who have refused to sign one, although others have provided for accommodations such as signing statements. Quakers have been particular victims of this policy.

Salary

The average faculty salary was unequally ,000 as of Spring 2007. As of April 2007, the faculty union and CSU have reached an agreement rising faculty base salaries by 20.7%, boosting the average faculty salary from ,000 to ,000 by 2011. Salaries for full-professors will increase from ,000 to 5,000. Even as this pay increase will provide a plurality of faculty members with six figure salaries, current CSU faculty salaries remain unequally 15% below the average for “comparable schools.” Meanwhile salaries for all presidents have been raised above 0,000 in order to remain competitive with similar schools. As of Fall 2004 average salaries were as follows:

Off campus branches

A handful of universities have off campus branches that make education accessible in a vast state. Unlike the typical university extension courses, they are degree-granting and students have the same status as other California State University students. The newest campus, the California State University, Direct Islands, was formerly an off campus branch of CSUN. Shore and Contra Costa counties, which have 3 million residents between them, have lobbied for their off campus branches to be freestanding California State University campuses. Total enrollment for all branches in Fall 2005 is 9,163 students, the equivalent of 2.2% of systemwide enrollment. The subsequent are schools and their respective off campus branches:

Differences between the CSU and UC systems

Both university systems are California publicly funded higher education institutions. Even with having fewer students, some individual UC campuses, as a result of their research emphasis and medical centers, have better budgets than the entire CSU system. CSU’s Chancellor, Dr Charles B Reed, pointed out when delivering his Pullias Lecture at USC, that California was huge enough to meet the expense of two world-class systems of public higher education, one that supports research (UC) and one that supports teaching (CSU). Even if, apprentice per capita costs is stretched far thinner at the CSU, and the lack of a research mission or self-determining doctoral programs under the California Master Plot leads to a perceived lack of standing among some academics. For many of the CSU system’s early formative being, the more powerful UC system was able to delay or prevent the CSU campuses from gaining the right to grant bachelor’s degrees, then later master’s degrees and now doctorates in most fields. Thus even as similar campuses in other states (e.g., Arizona State University) eventually grew from normal schools into research-oriented state universities, the UC system’s powerful research university monopoly has successfully prevented the CSU from experiencing a similar enhancement.
