LEXINGTON HERALD-LEADER, LEXINGTON, KY., FRIDAY, APRIL 13,_!ll90 NKU professor to propose collective-bargaining idea Staff, 'Mire reports HIGHLAND HEIGHTS - History professor John DeMarcus of Northern Kentucky University says he will try to bring collective bargaining to the state's colleges and universities. DeMarcus said he would suggest that the American Association of University Professors survey the faculties of all the state universities to see whether they want to bargain collectively through the association. DeMarcus, president of the NKU chapter of the association, will present the proposal to college faculty members today during a meeting of the state association at the University of Kentucky. If the state association approves the DeMarcus proposal, faculty members at each public college and university could vote on collective bargaining by the end of the year. If faculty members approve collective bargaining, the association would attempt to negotiate with the governing board at each school. But the board could refuse to negotiate, said DeMarcus. More than 52 percent of the NKU faculty voted in 1986 to ask fur· collective bargaining,. but the board of regents-rejected the request No Kentucky colleges liave- unions, saic:! .

Chris Perkins, D-Hindman. Such legislation would help students make more informed decisions about their educations and would make it more difficult for schools to misrepresent their graduation or completion rates Perkins said. ' . Schools with low completion rates tend to have more students who default on their loans, according to a report last year by the U.S. Department of Education. The legislation would require schools to disclose the infonnation before students enroll or enter into any financial obligations. ~ .oK~incimrnees:,. ,.. ~ ' . . ' } -..
