Historical NoteReturn to Top

The Classified Staff Association (CSA) was established in 1980 by Kacey Cooper and others to address various issues raised by classified staff at Washington State University. The issues addressed by this association included, among others, emergency pay in the face of closures, poor communication, and clear definitions on job descriptions put out by the University. In late 1982, CSA merged with the Washington Federation of State Employees Local 1066 chapter.

Arrangement
