title: Collective bargaining in higher education.
abstract: Collective bargaining in higher education is a phenomenon that is less than 20 years old. This article chronicles the development of legal jurisdiction and the growth of bargaining activity in the public and private sectors. It focuses on the relevant differences between two- and four-year institutions in the public and private sectors as well as several of the major problem areas in higher education and their current legal status, including the Yeshiva decision. The author cites a number of inconsistent rulings that cover collective bargaining in higher education and takes the position that, in spite of all diversity and inconsistencies, the collective bargaining process continues to grow.
