Dozens of California State University faculty members stage a one-day strike Thursday Nov. 17, 2011 in Dominguez Hills, Calif. The protestors staged the demonstration at two campuses, in East Bay and Dominguez Hills, to protest the administration's decision not to pay negotiated raises. It was the first faculty walkout in the history of the 23-campus system.
