Retrenchment Clauses in Faculty Union Contracts.
Rhoades, Gary
Journal of Higher Education, v64 n3 p312-47 May-Jun 1993
Examination of retrenchment clauses in the faculty union contracts at 42 colleges and universities focused on implications for tenure rights and the roles prescribed for faculty and administrators. Concepts of financial exigency and shared governance are highlighted. Contracts were found to provide faculty with a limited and reactive role during retrenchment. (MSE)
