Being a unionized institution, collective bargaining is very much part of the employment process. This generally occurs at the departmental level. Generally, higher-level positions are filled by persons already employed by the University. The collective bargaining process entails the establishment of a contract that both an employee and employer find agreeable. Such a contract concerns the conditions of the workplace, including the hours, rules, regulations, and wages.
Once an employee is accepted at the University, the head of department encourages this person to join a union. The employee is then included in a meeting with a union representative and the head of department to discuss the terms of the contract. When an agreement is reached, the contract is presented to the employee for final approval and his or her signature. The contract is held for a period of three years, after which it is renegotiated.
The union is highly important in these negotiations, as it ensures the well-being and rights of the employee. Employees who join unions are required to abide by their rules, and also to pay a small monthly maintenance fee. The contract drawn up in this way then reflects the desires of the employer and employee as mediated by the union.
This process entails a democratic negotiation between the employee and employer, which is mitigated by a union representative. This means that, while the organization itself is not necessarily democratic in its structure or leadership, there is room within the individual departmental processes to indeed include democratic practices.

As seen above, the University is a large and diversified institution, with a variety of goals and missions within each department, as well as collective goals for the University as a whole. The refinement of these goals and mission are highly integrated with the University's departments, faculties, and senate in terms of the planning and budgeting processes. The senate is to ensure that such integration is successful, but also relies heavily upon faculties and departments to ensure that their internal processes ensure such integration.
At the center of such integration is the academic culture, as explicated by David D. Dill (1982). The University is primarily a learning institution. This means that its main goal is to educate, and its mission should relate to the excellence and usefulness of such education. All other services and management issues are secondary and in the service of this one main aim. In refining the aims and goals of the University, this culture and how it can be integrated in reaching the goals of the University, must be kept in mind.
According to Dill (1982, p. 304), this is vital to the management process: "A necessary condition for the management of academic organizations is the assumption that they are academic communities;...
A micro considers the interests and rights of the individual company as the primary concern. Both of these views are valid depending on the lens that one wishes to use. The problem arises when the government is forced to develop policies regarding procurement in this volatile debate. The government must decide whether to take a micro view, favoring the rights of companies, or a macro view that places the
He consistently mentions how important it is to throw off geographical boundaries and beliefs, and unite in a common goal of freedom and liberty. He also notes that the Constitution is meant to be amended, but it must be treated with respect, rather than used as an instrument of power or greed. He warns against "alterations which will impair the energy of the system," and urges the people to give
32, and Pepsi's ratio is .29. These are close, but suggest that Pepsi is actually able to generate more revenue for every dollar of property and equipment it owns. This makes sense given the operational differences at these companies; as noted above, Coca Cola does not actually own or operate all of the production elements for its products, thus it makes sense that is has much lower property values than its
A major objective of the custodial Financial reporting system is to be continuously and accurately responsive to regular and ad hoc requests for custodial financial reports" (Website of the Internal Revenue Service, 2008).

" The determination for marketable security with respect to disproportionate distribution is accomplished by reducing the amount of marketable securities that is treated as money using the following steps: 1. The excess of the partner's share of net gain that would be recognized if all securities of the type distributed held by the partnership immediately before the transaction were sold at fair market value over 2. The partner's share of gain that would
This study demonstrates that different total P. fraction releases may differ between two bodies of water under similar oxygen conditions (Kisand & Noges, 2003). This study is important in that it highlights the complexity of understanding P. fractions in any given body of water. There are a multitude of potential reactions in any body of water. Oxygen plays a role in the reactions of any individual lake, but one
