Senates, Unions, and the Flow of Power in American Higher Education

This article draws on longitudinal survey research to examine the influence pro- files of senates standing alone on college campuses in the United States, as well as the influence profiles of coexisting senates and faculty unions. The article discusses the forces prompting a flow of power away from faculty deliberative bodies and speculates on the future of faculty senates as hard times came to American higher education.Cet article essaie de retracer l'influence des "sénats académiques"dans les insti-tutions où il n'existe pas de syndicats de professeurs et d'en faire une comparaison avec les institutions où les deux corps doivent coexister. L'auteur discute des forces qui tendent à diminuer l'influence des assemblées délibérantes et du sort que pourrait leur réserver la période difficile que l'enseignement postsecondaire américain traverse
