_The following message was provided by the California State University Chancellor's Office._
California State University and California Faculty Association leaders will hold a joint news conference call for news media to announce a tentative agreement on a reopened contract between the university administration and faculty union.
The proposed five-day faculty strike, slated to begin on April 13, will be postponed pending approval and ratification of the agreement by the CFA Board of Directors and membership. Once ratified by the CFA membership, the tentative agreement will be voted on by the CSU Board of Trustees at the May 24-25 meeting.
