The University Student Senate of the City University of New York proposed in 1974 to examine student participation in collective bargaining and the impact of student participation on educational quality. This report indicates where students have participated in collective bargaining; in what capacity they have participated; what the results have been; the reactions of faculty, administrators, trustees, and others involved in the collective bargaining processes that have included students; methods or models for student involvement in collective bargaining; contracts that mention students; and kinds of legislation proposed or passed that permit student involvement. Cases are described for Fitchburg State College, the University of Bridgeport, the University of Cincinnati, City University of New York, and the Montana University system. The project also developed a clearinghouse for information related to students and collective bargaining--the only student information center of its kind in the nation. Appended are student responses tabulated by state, the Eastern Montana College contract, and proposed Massachusetts legislation. (LBH)
