The Athens News: Does campus strife make OU faculty look tempting to union organizers?
With all the controversy over shared governance, budget cuts and related issues at Ohio University, is the faculty ripe for unionization?
Apparently some parties are at least edging toward that question. Last night, the OU chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) was scheduled to hold a meeting for faculty, to hear accounts from other universities where profs have chosen to unionize under the AAUP banner.
One of the scheduled panelists was Stephen Aby, a professor of bibliography at the University of Akron, and a past president of the AAUP chapter there.
