Academic Freedom And Electronic Communications, Henry Reichman, Ashley Dawson, Martin Garnar, Chris Hoofnagle, Rana Jaleel, Anne Klinefelter, Robert O'Neil, Jennifer Nichols

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

In November 2004, the Association’s Council adopted Academic Freedom and Electronic Communications, a report prepared by a subcommittee of Committee A on Academic Freedom and Tenure and approved by Committee A. That report affirmed one “overriding principle”:

Academic freedom, free inquiry, and freedom of expression within the academic community may be limited to no greater extent in electronic format than they are in print, save for the most unusual situation where the very nature of the medium itself might warrant unusual restrictions—and even then only to the extent that such differences demand exceptions or variations. Such obvious differences between …

The Investment Company Institute reported that

U.S. retirement plan assets reached $21.7 trillion

all household financial assets in the U.S.1 The Department

of Labor reported in June 2013 that 88.7 million

Americans have defined contribution plan accounts,

based on data from 2011 annual reports.2 With so many

millions of people depending on these plans for retirement

security, the government has placed significant legal

requirements on the role of fiduciaries. Employers

that sponsor retirement plans are being put under an increasingly

high degree of scrutiny for their actions and

inactions with …

Who Owns Online Curriculum And Content? A Primer On Intellectual Property, Jon Garon

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

The ownership of copyrights in a faculty member’s copyrighted works has been a source of tension between labor and management for many years, affecting content created for the classroom, for scholarship, and for creative endeavors. Ownership of on-line learning content adds to these tensions and presents a number of important labor-management and pedagogical issues. The legal default rules of copyright provide the starting point for negotiations between labor and management. This panel will explore whether the institution or the faculty member owns the intellectual property associated with on-line learning, course content, and other works. In addition, it will present practical …

A Guide To Academic Freedom, Frederick P. Schaffer

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

This brief introduction to the principles of academic freedom is intended for attorneys and other administrators who represent or work at colleges and universities. It has two purposes. The first is to introduce them to academic freedom as a set of professional principles regardless of whether or not they are legally enforceable. Attorneys and administrators need to understand the culture of the institutions they represent or serve. Nowhere is this more true than with colleges and universities, which have well established traditions and norms that influence the expectations and conduct of all those responsible for their governance, including faculty, administrators …

Employer Perspectives On ‘Zero Hours’ Contracts In Uk Higher Education, Laurence Hopkins, Helen Fairfoul

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

The use of casual and temporary labour in the UK labour market is not a new phenomenon, but an increase in the use of so-called ‘zero hours contracts’ has drawn considerable attention from pressure groups, the media and all three main political parties over the past 18 months. While official figures indicate that the majority of zero hours contracts are found in the retail, hospitality, and healthcare sectors, the use of these arrangements at higher education establishments has also attracted attention and has become an area of focus for HE trade unions.

Trends In Labor Management Issues At Historically Black Colleges And Universities, Derryn Moten

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

The uniqueness of Historically Black Colleges and Universities make achieving collective bargaining on these campuses problematic. All but a handful of black colleges are located in the south, a region with a well-established aversion to organized labor. The South’s history of plantation slavery coupled with feudal peonage labor and Big Mule politics is antithetical with notions of fair wages, reasonable benefits and work hours, and safe working environments. Something similar can be argued about shared governance on the campuses of HBCUs where labor trends favoring union representation of staff trails the success achieved on many Historically White Colleges and Universities …

Trends In Labor Management Issues At Historically Black Colleges And Universities, Elizabeth K. Davenport

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

The mobilization of workers through unionization has deep historical roots within American society; more so in the northern regions thanin the southern region of this country.Despite these historical roots,some sectors of the American population (i.e., minorities in general and AfricanAmericans in particular) who have experienced various forms of discrimination have not fully participatedin the unionization movement. This is especially true of the faculty in historically

Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). As a result of thevarious forms of discriminationthat not only denied them meaningful participation in the labor market but restricted their economic success, and the segregation that resulted from the …
