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.

Famous quotes containing the word faculty:
“Increasingly in recent times we have come first to identify the remedy that is most agreeable, most convenient, most in accord with major pecuniary or political interest, the one that reflects our available faculty for action; then we move from the remedy so available or desired back to a cause to which that remedy is relevant.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“Rhetoric may be defined as the faculty of observing in any given case the available means of persuasion.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“The spider-mind acquires a faculty of memory, and, with it, a singular skill of analysis and synthesis, taking apart and putting together in different relations the meshes of its trap. Man had in the beginning no power of analysis or synthesis approaching that of the spider, or even of the honey-bee; but he had acute sensibility to the higher forces.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
