Collective bargaining in higher education and a few other fields is examined in 21 papers from a 1986 conference of the National Center for the Study of Collective Bargaining in Higher Education and the Professions. After an introduction by Joel M. Douglas, the academic collective bargaining system is reexamined in four papers. Additional papers consider: bargaining in selected other fields, bargaining in private colleges after the "Yeshiva" decision, compensation issues, bargaining with nontenure track faculty, legal issues, and faculty discipline.
