Sac State joins CSU campuses in a faculty one-day strike over stalled negotiations. Also, western Monarch butterflies are clustering along the California coast this winter. Finally, a Sacramento cover band performs the Beatles “Rubber Soul” album.

Sac State Faculty to take part in CSU Strike

Faculty at Sac State will walk off the job tomorrow in a planned, one-day strike.  The issue stems from a disagreement and stalled negotiations between CSU and faculty over proposed salary increases. Sac State is the fourth campus to be impacted by the strikes this week and we’ll discuss the impact to students, classes and staff with CapRadio Northern California reporter, Janelle Salanga, and EdSource’ higher education reporter, Ashley Smith.

California’s Monarch Butterfly Migration

Over the next several months, tens of thousands of monarch butterflies will migrate across the western United States to spend the winter along the California coast. This “overwintering” is crucial on the insect’s journey to breed, and comes at a time when the monarch runs the risk of going extinct. Isis Howard, an Endangered Species Conservation Biologist for the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation discusses this year’s migration, the best places to see the butterflies, and how we can help protect this brilliant species.
