| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to determine if two-year colleges with faculty unions differ from two-year colleges without unions in terms of selected institutional characteristics. The objectives of the study were to determine the relationship between union and non-union colleges with respect to: 1) the percentage of Education and General (E & G) expenditures allocated to instruction; 2) the percentage of their revenue by source; 3) E & G expenditures per FTE student; 4) the FTE student to full-time faculty ratio; 5) average full-time faculty salary; and 6) the possibility of one or more of the variables serving as a predictor of membership in one of the two groups. The population for the study consisted of 163 institutions with faculty bargaining and 115 institutions without bargaining. Data on the institutions were obtained from the Higher Education General Information Survey CHEGIS) 1979-80 Tapes. The data were classified and summarized by two Statistical Analysis System (SAS) procedures: general descriptive statistics, and cross-tabulation. A Stepwise Regression was used to analyze the relationship between the dependent variable and twelve independent variables. Institutions with faculty collective bargaining, men there was no control for the possible effects of institutional size and state governance, had a significantly higher average faculty salary than institutions without faculty bargaining. Institutions with faculty bargaining received greater mean percentages of their income from tuition and fees and local governmental appropriations, mile institutions without faculty bargaining obtained a greater mean percentage of revenue from state appropriations. When institutions were matched by size (as measured by FTE students and total current fund revenue) and by state, there were no significant differences between the two sets of institutions. | en |
