Comparisons of Union vs Non-Union Business Professoriates

Abstract

In the aftermath of the recent economic recession, many state supported institutions of higher learning face significant budget reductions. As business professors are typically among the highest paid faculty at many public colleges and universities, these positions are often among the first considered when cuts are planned. This study compares the salaries paid to business school faculty at two public universities (union and non-union represented). The research found that there were no significant differences between faculties at the union represented university. There were however, differences at the non-union represented university as well as between a union and the non-union represented university.
