Background
CSU-ERFSA, the California State University Emeritus and Retired Faculty and Staff Association (formerly known as CSU Association
of Emeriti Professors and CSU Emeritus and Retired Faculty Association), is a nonprofit organization of emeritus and retired
faculty members from all 23 campuses of the California State University system. The association was formed in 1985 in response
to threats and attempts to reduce or eliminate CSU retirees' rights, privileges and benefits, and to support the activities
of retired faculty as continuing members of the academic community. The association nominates candidates for the retiree member
of the state Academic Senate and provides recommendations on curricular and academic policy to the Academic Senate and the
Office of the Chancellor.
