Question

What are the costs and benefits of
collective bargaining to our students?
We knew you would ask this question
because you're an accomplished and caring teacher. Students are
central to our careers; they come first in our professional
priorities.
Will collective bargaining raise tuition? Not likely. Our sister
institutions have been able to address a whole range of issues while
operating in the same fiscal environment as our University -- and
keeping tuition increases within the same ranges as we have here.
Will student learning be affected by a strike? Not likely. Click

How can collective bargaining benefit students? Student learning
conditions is linked to our working conditions. Faculty with a
collective voice can better serve student interests by lending our
voice to theirs to improve the University's learning environment.
For students in Education, the IEA may be a familiar name. The IEA
maintains a student chapter at ISU to assist in the professional
development of future teachers. The
Student Education Association
is the largest organization on campus.
