faculty unions could change existing university governance, restrict student participation in teacher evaluations and lead to tuition increases.
"There is not enough hard evidence to either refute or support the commonly expressed fear that collective bargaining usually leads to tuition hikes, although it is relatively easy to demonstrate that the potential exists," the study said.
Collective bargaining leads to higher operational costs, which could lead to tuition increases, the study said.
Downing said, "If you have more rules and regulations to follow, you're going to have more paperwork."
But he said those operational costs wouldn't add to tuition costs.
"That's really kind of stretching
things in terms of cause and effect," he said.
Michael Foubert, graduate student senator, said a faculty union could add to tuition costs by increasing faculty salaries. But a faculty union probably wouldn't affect governance or most students, he said.
"It's been my experience that unions in general do not affect students in terms of the classroom," he said.
But a KU union could affect graduate students because it would exclude graduate teaching assistants, Foubert said.
In 1975, the Kansas Public Employee Relations Board decided that a faculty bargaining unit at KU could include graduate teaching assistants.
"There are a number of universities where teaching assistants are full and equal partners in unions," Foubert said. "I think the graduate executive obviously is watching with interest what is going on."
Two union organizers say a faculty wouldn't directly affect most students.
Robert Hohn, a professor of educational psychology and research president of the KU chapter of the American Association of University Professors, said he couldn't yet draw conclusions about effects on students.
"I would hope they wouldn't be involved in the issues," he said. "Typically, they're not involved at other institutions."
Clifford Griffin, professor of history and an organizer for the Kansas National Education Association, said
a faculty union would help students indirectly by improving the quality of education, faculty morale and governance.
"But I don't know that it will have any direct effect on students," he said.
And Griffin said he thought that a faculty union would give students a stronger voice in governance, not a weaker one.
"It is true that the union is going to strengthen University governance, and the student representatives will very definitely share in that increased authority," he said.
AIDS Myth of the Week
Myth: "I avoid public restrooms in order to avoid AIDS"
Fact: AIDS is not spread in bathrooms, on door knobs, in laundromats, or by sharing towels, cosmetics or other personal items. AIDS is spread only by exchange of certain body fluids, specifically, infected blood and infected semen.
If you are sexually active, you are at risk for AIDS.
