title: ACADEMIC COMMUNITY: Ruling Allows Unions at Private Colleges.
abstract: The National Labor Relations Board last week gave a nod to the first graduate students' union at a private university. The board's ruling that graduate teaching and research assistants at New York University qualify as "employees" potentially puts them on equal footing with colleagues at publicly funded campuses in more than 20 states. University administrators deplored the ruling, which thrilled labor organizers.
