A survey was designed to investigate the impact of faculty unionism, militancy, and collective bargaining on the traditional patterns, relationships, and academic governance in the public colleges and universities in the state. There appears to be a diversity of opinion concerning the causes and impact of these faculty activities. A majority of the respondents favor unions and collective negotiation, and view the use of strikes as a legitimate form of sanction to achieve faculty aims. Yet a majority also voice some doubts and deep concerns about carrying out such a threat by withholding service. The adversary relationship of management and faculty unions is likely to force an end to traditional management practices of collegiality and the protection of the tenured. (MSE)
