Personnel management in public colleges and universities is often influenced by collective bargaining agreements. Locate and read a faculty or staff collective bargaining agreement for your current worksite, or a local university. In a 4-page paper, discuss the role of collective bargaining agreements in higher education administration in relation to one of the following areas:
• Personnel disputes
• Performance evaluation
• Hiring
• Layoff/termination
• Paid leave
• Budget limitations
Incorporate the module readings and the information in the collective bargaining agreement into your discussion. As an educational leader, what do you need to consider before making decisions related to personnel management? What are the consequences of not following collective bargaining agreements? What resources can you identify to assist you with understanding collective bargaining agreements?
