Expecting an all-time number of students in the fall, over 760,000, the Cal State system is seeking to hire 700 new full-time teachers. A $124 million increase in state funding last year will help pay teachers’ salaries.
Cal Poly is currently advertising to fill 99 faculty positions, 47 staff positions and 19 management positions.
