Faculty
In Fall 2011 CSU employed 11,329 full-time faculty members. Over 29% were ethnic minorities, 44% were female and 83.9% were tenured or tenure tracked. Full Professors comprised 40.2% of faculty members, Associate Professors constituted 23.9% and Assistant Professors 19.8% of faculty members, while 16.1% were Lecturers.
The California state constitution requires all state workers who are US citizens to sign a loyalty oath as a term of employment. 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.

“It is the true office of history to represent the events themselves, together with the counsels, and to leave the observations and conclusions thereupon to the liberty and faculty of every man’s judgement.”
