Academic bargaining origins and growth

The determinants of faculty bargaining, including the impact of the organizational context of faculty behavior toward bargaining, are discussed in relation to findings from existing studies and findings from a longitudinal study of the New Jersey system of higher education. The introduction of this book provides the general context for studying the movement toward bargaining by academic professions, a synthesis from the faculty bargaining literature of those factors considered important in understanding the bargaining movement, and a description of the New Jersey study. Part I of the book integrates the findings from the New Jersey study with the literature on collective bargaining and presents a general statement on the origins of collective bargaining in institutions of higher education. The chapters in Part ii provide detailed case studies of the emergence of bargaining at the 30 public and private institutions in New Jersey now unionized. They include: the New Jersey State Colleges; Rutgers University; Newark College of Engineering (New Jersey Institute of Technology); the College of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey; The New Jersey County Colleges; Monmouth College; Rider College; Bloomfield College; and Fairleigh Dickinson University.
