New National Center Contract Research Site

The National Center for the Study of Collective Bargaining in Higher Education and the Professions is pleased to announce its new Contract Research Site, an annual contribution-based platform.


This unique Site will be valuable to negotiators, union representatives, administrators, law firms, and others involved in or studying higher education collective bargaining.


It includes a search engine to research the terms of hundreds of collective bargaining agreements in higher education. It will also provide filters to permit research by institution, institution type, unit type, bargaining agent, sector, and state.


Access to the Site will require a registration and an annual contribution to the National Center in the amounts set forth below. The contribution will permit a set number of identified individual users to use the Site. A contributor will also be entitled to be listed as a sponsor of our annual conference.


The Site will become live on October1, 2025 for those entities that have registered and made the contribution.


Keep a step ahead in negotiations and in your research by registering for the Contract Research Site today.
