A study of the structure and functions of campus unions in four-year public and private institutions in North Carolina

The study of campus unions was an expository study, the purpose of which was to determine what North Carolina campus unions were doing in terms of the use of facilities, the programs and services, and roles undertaken by the union directors. Because of the somewhat unique racial composition of the North Carolina state system of colleges and universities and of the private institutions of higher learning, attention was given to the similarities and differences which may have existed in the campus unions because of or in spite of the dominant or minority race. A forty item questionnaire was constructed. Items were selected which asked the campus union directors of four-year public/private colleges/universities in North Carolina to give information about the budget, facilities, program and services, administration and organizations of their unions. Further, the directors were asked to speculate about their roles and state their problems. On-site visits were made to confirm the questionnaire data
