The Fiscal Crisis Of The Campus: The View From California, R. Jeffrey Lustig Mar 2012

The Fiscal Crisis Of The Campus: The View From California, R. Jeffrey Lustig

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

Over the last generation, state governments have undertaken a major disinvestment in higher education. The questions raised by these funding reductions go beyond matters of crowded classrooms, dilapidated facilities, and altered pedagogies to challenge the basic function of college and university education in the United States. Will higher education continue to be the gateway to equality and provider of broad horizons for citizens, or will it be transformed into a bulwark of social privilege and narrow conveyor of vocational skills for private consumers? These are the ultimate questions posed by the funding priorities of the state legislatures in America today.


Financing Higher Education: Privatization, Resistance, And Renewal, Gerald Turkel Mar 2012

Financing Higher Education: Privatization, Resistance, And Renewal, Gerald Turkel

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

Higher education’s financial crisis is being resolved largely through a politics of privatization, changing patterns of financing that increasingly shift responsibilities to individual students and their families. The politics of privatization makes it ever more difficult for low income students to attend college and has become a major financial burden for middle income people. Beyond cost shifting, privatization has increasingly subordinated the research and educational missions of higher education to imperatives of economic growth and competitiveness. Privatization has enhanced the entrepreneurial and corporate features of universities and colleges, changing the values of higher education away from notions of common property …


State Support Of Higher Education: The Roller Coaster Plunges Downward Yet Again, William Zumeta Mar 2012

State Support Of Higher Education: The Roller Coaster Plunges Downward Yet Again, William Zumeta

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

After just a few years of solid growth in state support, public higher education faced grim times in many states in late 2008. The culprit, as usual, was an economic downturn. A burst housing market bubble, long supported by historically low interest rates and too easy credit, precipitated this downward spiral. The ground trembled under the nation’s financial system when the bubble burst; banks, in turn, severely reduced access to credit by businesses, current and would be homeowners, and even students. The U.S. Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve System responded with drastic, unprecedented actions—including slashed interest rates and bank …


Academic Bargaining In Hard Times, Ernst Benjamin Mar 2012

Academic Bargaining In Hard Times, Ernst Benjamin

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

Despite popular misconceptions, we know, or certainly should know, that conflict is not inherent in the bargaining relationship even in these difficult times. We know, that is, that the bargaining relationship, though it may emerge in response to conflict, can be and often is a means to resolve conflict. Diminishing resources do tend to reawaken and heighten conflict. Even so, when budget shortfalls are unavoidable, cooperative bargaining can seek and has frequently found ways to protect long term academic resources and core academic programs and personnel. In many instances, the parties in the collective bargaining relationship can also cooperate to …

Welcome, Richard Boris

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

This inaugural edition of Collective Bargaining in the Academy (CBA) begins a new and long overdue platform for research and comprehensive discourse about labor relations in American higher education. The National Center for the Study of Collective Bargaining in Higher Education and the Professions is pleased to have assisted with the birth of this journal, a project envisaged seven years ago when we began to re-stabilize the National Center. The CBA’s voices will be many, including those of academic researchers, university administrators, and union leaders. In short, the CBA seeks a true ecumenicalism of research and opinion as well as …

Social Networking And Faculty Discipline: A Pennsylvania Case Points Toward Confrontational Times, Requiring Collective Bargaining Attention, James Ottavio Castagnera, John Lanza Iv

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

While social-networking sites like Facebook are still relatively new to the working world, employers monitoring their employee’s activities and conduct outside the workplace is not. The most alluring aspects of social-networking sites is the ease in which an account can be created and maintained, the personalization options they present to the user, and a uniquely 21st century way of keeping in contact with friends and family. Social-networking sites are truly a wonder of the modern age, where by typing out a few sentences, uploading some photographs, videos and making some friend requests, one can present his or her entire life …

Technology’S Impact On Student – Faculty Interaction: Issues For Collective Bargaining, Mark Piwinsky, Mary Beth Leidman, Mathew Mckeague

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

Today’s faculty confront challenges that are reshaping their workload and creating new demands and expectations. A decline in the proportion of tenured faculty and an increased reliance on temporary faculty is problematic in a time of strong enrollment growth. The American Association of University Professors (Trends in Faculty Status, 2007) reports the proportion of full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty has declined from 56.8% in fall 1975 to 31.2% in fall 2007. Data from the National Center for Education Statistics (2005, 2008) show enrollments increased from 17.92 million in fall 2005 to 19.57 million in fall 2008. Schaffhauser (2010) reports that …
