The Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy (JCBA) is a publication of the National Center for the Study of Collective Bargaining in Higher Education.

JCBA is an open access, peer-reviewed, online periodical the purpose of which is to advance research and scholarly thought related to academic collective bargaining and to make relevant and pragmatic peer-reviewed research readily accessible to practitioners and to scholars in the field.

We welcome submissions from a wide community of practitioners including, but not limited to college and university faculty, graduate students, administrators, union leaders, and others with an interest in collective bargaining in the academy. Please see the Aims & Scope page for more information.

JCBA is supported in part by a generous contribution from TIAA and is hosted by the institutional repository of Eastern Illinois University (EIU), The Keep (a service of EIU's Booth Library).

In Memoriam of William A. Herbert

Even as we are profoundly saddened by Bill Herbert's sudden passing, we are pleased, as we know Bill would be, to announce the publication of Volume 17 of the National Center's Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy, of which Bill was such a tireless champion, supporter, and superb contributor. We have lost a dear friend, a lover and sharer of history and music, and a wonderful man dedicated to the best of what scholarship and shared community between labor and management can be for the betterment of a more democratic and just higher education and society.
