years ago. b just a week ago i was informed i'm going to have 65 students in a class that usually has 40. i don't get paid more for that. and the quality of the education goes down. >> do you have sympathy for the administration? the argument being that sacramento is in dire straits. they cut so much money from the system. >> 5% of the money that the cal state system has is paid for instruction. the rest goes to executive salaries and administrative look. look how much raises they give themselves. sooer increase in faculty. more students we have to teach. the students are paying four times as much. i have no sympathy for an administration run that way. >> thank you very much m one of 700 faculty members expected to participate in the general strike today. it's unprecedented.

did agree on raises for the two academic years covering 2008 to 2010, is csu has never paid. the reason, administrators say they've can't afford to because the state took away their money during the budget crisis. now a panel has recommended administrators cough up the pay raises, but again csu says the money isn't there. and if they were to pay, it could mean cuts to the number of classes offered to students. >> you can't have quality education when management breaks the contract. two independent neutrals have said they should pay the money they owe that we requested as a compromise for 2008-09 and 2009-10. they claim they don't have the money. two independent neutrals say they do have the money. >> the deal was reached based on

a promise by the state of california. we don't materialize the funding here on our own. we certainly don't have a printing press in our back offic office. >> this is a bit of history for the csu system. never have teachers and faculty performed. this was a surprise. stun students were informed in the days leading up to this to let them know there would not be class today. i'm bob redell, john and laura? >> interesting to see the activity there. campus police are still holding watch over the former spot of the occupy cal campsite. that's going on now. we've heard two arrests so far. apparently both were voluntary. so everything seems to be calm out there. we're seeing trucks pulling up on things the occupiers were having police moved in in riot gear at 4:00 a.m. they took down tents and started

to move the protesters out of the plaza. so we'll keep you posted as things progress out there. we now know more about a man killed during a raid with police at berkeley. according to an online video that documented christopher travis' life, the 32-year-old was a bright student who transferred to the university. he was also a self-described computer nerd who had a troubled past. but university officials are painting a different picture today. it doesn't know what he planned to do with that loaded handgun that he brought with him. on tuesday he was shot and later died after he allegedly pointed the weapon at officers. >> they were giving him the command to drop the gun. drop the weapon. >> at the same time, we need to think about the support system for students who are under a lot of stress.

for low income and latino children. they appeared at one of the weekend shows to talk about their success in eliminating the achievement gap. >> we really want to communicate with how the child is doing so they can be more active at home. >> though last night's vote was unanimous, several santa clara county school superintendents are happy. five, in fact, are threatening to sue. the thought is rocketship education should approach each school district individually to see if it's something they want within the district. for now, though, rocketship has won approval. these schools are to be built and ready to go by the 2012-2013 school year. the good news is, yes, it is friday eve. the bad news is, meteorologist

christina loren tells us it won't be bikini weather tout there. >> or in your case speedo weather. san francisco, you know the law. we're looking good this morning. a.m. fog and drizzle. isolated showers. that's what we're expecting. not much of anything really. by tomorrow turning code. then we'll see a little bit more shower activity. heavy periods of rain arrive into the weekend. this morning the fog is so thick you'll encounter drizzle on your way to work. probably have to use the windshield wipers. still looking okay in san francisco in oakland. but we're picking up showers now. we have a quarter of mile of visible and pockets. onshore flow has strengthened and will bring us light activity throughout the day. we have a little cell that pushed over san francisco.

picture of the golden gate bridge. why you can still see both towers. as we head through the next couple of hours, all the fog beneath the bridge will creep to the north. and we'll probably lose visibility here through 7:45 this morning. so, still getting a nice clear drive there. we're looking good in terms of your temperatures. mild in san jose. 45 in gilroy. 51 in sunnyvale. and 39 degrees this morning in places like novato. as we head throughout the morning hours, we'll continue to see more fog develop especially through 8:00, 9:00, 10:00. then the fog will hang out by the bay all day long. we had a lot of sunshine for the first part of the week. yesterday some cities hit the 70 degree mark. what a difference today makes. i'm forecasting temperatures in the upper 50s in san francisco. as you can see right now showers are starting to push into the northern most portion of the state. but for us, action is not too heavy just yet. we'll get a little bit of drizzly fog picking up on the radar returns.

no heavy rains just yet. we have to wait until sunday for the heavy periods of rain. 49 degrees as you make your way off to work. 63 degrees, so kind of comfortable in places like san jose as you break for lunch. 56 and staying cool in san francisco. you make your way home from work with more shower activity, not much, though. but you can see here we are expecting probably half an inch in the places that pick up the most rain. probably saturday night into sunday. you see yellows moving in here. that's when it starts to get active. 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. we'll see heavy rain push south. that could be the time for showers that interrupt. maybe you have somewhere to be over the course of the weekend. maybe you're just going to pick up a turkey. the good news is, just like the past couple of weeks the showers are arriving at the end of the week. they last through the weekend. they clear up in time for the start of the next week. next week is huge when it comes

to holiday travel, holiday shopping. to the good news is we'll clear out just in time for that. let's check out your drive with mike inouye. >> we're working for a heavier flow of traffic. a lot of folks heading to work in the south bay. a couple of accidents off the shoulder. right here we see slowing from capitol expressway pass 880 into the airport. the accident right there is 880. that is out of the roadway just moving off to the shoulder over the last couple of minutes. this might affect your peninsula drive. there's a stall there possiblily blocking the slow lanes. and the crews over the next few minutes. but 101 and 280 both moving smoothly between here and the city, both directions are nice. another side of the bay, 880 is slow southbound out of san leandro down through hayward and into fremont, expect that to

build over the next 10 to 15. and an earlier accident in livermore has cleared from north livermore. got to show you the bay bridge. 25-minute drive to that spot. look who is waiting for you. thank you, mike. it's 6:50 right now. police in riot gear raided the occupy cal campus this morning, taking everyone out of the area. we want to show you cell phone video that captured the raid. it happened about 4:00 this morning, we understand. where police went in the riot gear, moving everyone out of the plaza there. they then reportedly went down ripping down tents. we know at least a couple of people were arrested. as we've been following the story all morning long. people remain on the campus site. close to where the actual encampment was. and they may try to reoccupy later. this is cell phone video that really captured everything that was happening this morning at 4:00 a.m.

they've had enough. now they're walking out. today marks the first faculty strike in cal state university history. professors, coaches and counselors striking at two different campuses. bob redell is live at cal state east bay. one of the campuses on strike. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning, jon, and the union representing the faculty is expecting almost all, if not all 700 faculty meks here in east bay to participate in this unprecedented walkout that started within the past hour. they're now picketing from the main entrance to the campus here in the hayward foothills. they are protesting. covering 2008 to 2010.

but they have never paid because the state took the money away from them. sacramento withheld $650 million this year. now an independent panel has recommended that the sad mrgs at least cough up some of the pay raises, but again the university system says the money just isn't there. and if they were to pay, they say it could mean cuts to the classes offered to students. the faculty says this is unfair. especially since they believe the very administrators withholding the pay raises are, in their opinion, overpaid. now campus is officially open for business today, but it's up to each individual instructor whether they're going to be holding class. if you have a situation where all professors and lectures decide to stay and picket. they are open for business, whether the instructors show up

will be seen in the coming hours. jon? laura? >> thank you for the update. a recent report from a watchdog group shows california is once again in the hole. the state is projeblcted to collect $300 million of the $4 billion added to the budget in june. if the forecast holds true, automatic cuts will kick in. the department of finance will present the own ror next month. police arresting a total of 95 occupy protesters after they stormed a san francisco bank. the group invading bank of america in the financial district yesterday afternoon. police say they climbed up on furniture and wrote chalk messages on walls. and they set up a tent. it took 40 police officers in riot gear nearly four hours to clear out the bank. nobody was hurt. those arrested went to jail, received citations and then they
