The Impact

Few faculty members and college administrators deny the fact that unions are a permanent fixture in higher education. Even in a climate that has been hostile to the formation of unions at colleges and universities, they have survived. The real question for both faculty and administrators is the impact that unions have had on institutional policies and practices—has it been positive or negative? Most research on unions in higher education has focused on compensation (salary, vacation, health plans, merit, retirement, etc.), and neglected other areas. This article, in addition to addressing financial gains, focuses on the impact that unions have in other areas of higher education. It is especially concerned with changes in governance structures that can be attributed to the influence of unions.
