Papers presented at the fifth annual Conference of the National Center for the Study of Collective Bargaining in Higher Education are provided. The union's and management's views of the impact of fiscal crisis on collective bargaining are given in the first two papers by Robert W. Miner and Caesar Naples. The next two presentations by Robert Nielsen and Donald H. Wollett deal with the role of the faculty union in governance and the possible conflicts created. The remaining papers and authors deal with: (1) peer judgment and due process (Irwin H. Polishook and Thomas A. Shipka); (2) union and administrative roles in building support for higher education (Fred E. Crossland and Edward B. Fiske); (3) the pre-collective bargaining organization period (Robert E. Doherty); (4) compensation and academic bargaining (Robert Birnbaum, William W. Brown, and Courtenay C. Stone); and (5) recent legislative, administrative, and judicial developments (June M. Weisberger). Membership of the National Center's Faculty Advisory Committee and a list of publications from the Center are also provided. (SPG)
