California State University campuses have reduced the number of lecturers they employ by 18 percent since a year ago, the system’s faculty union reported on Thursday.
The decrease of 2,270 lecturers from May 2009 to this month reflects efforts by the system’s 23 campuses to compensate for large cuts in state support by cutting the more-temporary lecture positions. By contrast, the number of tenured faculty fell by less than 2 percent.
The three campuses with the largest percentage declines in lecturer positions, according to the California Faculty Association, were East Bay, 36 percent; Stanislaus, 29 percent; and Sacramento, 25 percent.
