Abstract

This study examined the effects of faculty unions on administrators' attitudes toward important higher education, such as faculty performance, values, job security, academic freedom, salaries, and academic governance. Using Chi-square analysis, the study tested the changes before and after unionization and found significant changes in the views of administrators toward unions after unionization. These changes vary by institutional level, union affiliation, and period of unionization. The article concludes with implications and recommendations for the future.
