The author's goal in this article is to estimate the causal effect of unionization on institutional decision- making, using a national survey of presidents and faculty senate leaders to measure the level of shared governance at 341 public universities in 15 different areas. To handle the endogeneity of faculty unionization, an index of state employee collective bargaining rights is used as an instrument for unionization. Findings indicate that unionization greatly increases faculty influence over institutional decision- making, both in compensation and in areas outside of compensation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
