CSU-AAUP'S PLATFORM FOR CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS

3. More travel and research funding

6. Faculty control of all educational and curricular matters, including modality, course scheduling, dual/concurrent enrollment, and Artificial Intelligence

7. No outsourcing of educational work to third parties, especially for-profit companies

1. More job security for part-time faculty with multi-semester contracts, protection of academic freedom, and due process

3. Improved working conditions for coaches

4. Guaranteed professional development for counselors
