Does a negotiated contract offer greater security than a current shared governance agreement?
A negotiated agreement offers faculty the greatest degree of certainty and security. Such an agreement clearly sets forth the terms and conditions of employment. These terms reflect the input of the faculty and are secured by agreement for a specified length of time. The usual current shared governance procedure controls only the relationship between the administration and the faculty. The board of trustees is not bound in any legal way to a decision reached through the shared governance agreement. In this time of fiscal volatility an agreement built on faculty involvement would provide a significant increase in stability.
