Talk of faculty union heating up
By Brenda Flory
The faculty and academic staff at the University of Kansas are becoming increasingly interested in student leadership. The faculty members said yesterday.
"I don't think the faculty has a truly effective voice in the important matters that effects it," said Richard McGinn, assistant professor of English.
He said that many of his colleagues had left KU because of economic reasons.
"This has been a first-class faculty," he said. "I think it has given the state of Kansas a great deal more than the state has given it."
Tom Madden, a representative of
the kansas National Education Association, said that about 90 percent of the 160 faculty member he is a part of has shown an interest in a possible union.
The process by which KU faculty would get a union involves getting a petition held by 30 percent of the faculty to hold an election and then having an election to select a representative group, such as the University Board of Regents, to bargain with the Kansas Board of Regents.
"There is a general concern among faculty that KU remain a quality institution," Madden said.
The organization identifies the needs of its constituents through surveys and interviews, he said.
He said KNEA was interested in representing the interests of KU's faculty and staff.
Ann Schofield, associate professor of American studies and women's studies, said salaries were a primary concern for many faculty members.
"Because faculty salaries are below average, faculty are more responsive to the idea of collective bargaining," she said.
Last week an eight-member ad hoc committee was selected at the request of the KU Faculty Council to get an objective viewpoint on collective bargaining, according to Melvin Dubnick, Faculty Executive Committee leader and associate professor of public administration.
