UW is on track to become an institution with a small cohort of competitively-paid elites in a few select fields and an overwhelming majority of faculty struggling to reconcile ever-escalating teaching and service loads with shrinking resources. In short, we are moving toward a two-tier system, in which only a small handful of faculty work under optimum conditions for first-class teaching and research, while undergraduate students spend less and less time in the classroom with the research faculty with whom the reputation of the UW largely rests.Some have wondered whether collective bargaining could work at such a diverse institution as the UW, which encompasses multiple campuses, hundreds of departments and schools, and faculty at every rank. But our enormous diversity is an argument for collective bargaining, rather than against it. [snip]
