Student concern regarding faculty unionism does not stem from a belief that public employee collective bargaining is bad public policy. To the contrary, most students recognize the civil right of employees to organize and bargain collectively. Their concern stems from the impact that collective bargaining has had, and will have, on the quality of university instruction, and the participation of students in university governance. They are concerned that increases in salaries and fringe benefits won by faculty unions will come out of students' pockets in the form of higher tuition. Students are afraid that faculty collective bargaining will freeze them out of their participation in campus decisionmaking. Student involvement can be accomplished in the following ways: to ask for judicial intervention in the event of a faculty strike, to seek observer status at the negotiations, to seek participatory status in the bargaining between faculty and administration, to establish limited tripartite bargaining through legislation that would limit the issues on which students could participate and exercise a veto, and to gain full tripartite bargaining through lobbying for legislation that would protect student interests.
