Annual Legal Update, Aaron Nisenson Sep 2014

Annual Legal Update, Aaron Nisenson

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

This was a year of great expectations in the field of higher education law, and it continues as such, with our expectations unfulfilled.

A Guide To Academic Freedom, Frederick P. Schaffer Sep 2014

A Guide To Academic Freedom, Frederick P. Schaffer

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

Organizational Culture, Knowledge Structures, And Relational Messages In Organizational Negotiation: A Systems Approach, Vincent P. Cavataio, Robert S. Hinck

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

This study examines a recent bargaining process between the Faculty Association and Central Michigan University. Taking a systems approach, we began with the assumption that a healthy organizational culture produces negative feedback which can help keep participants at the bargaining table despite disagreement. However, if organizational members’ relationships are threatened, organizational culture unravels as destructive messages provide positive feedback to disrupt the system and make impasse more likely. To understand how an university’s culture is impacted during contract negotiations we examined messages published in a university student newspaper, transcripts from the local NPR station, CMU’s press releases, a Facebook page, …
