What if an individual graduate student disagrees with a provision in the Yale “Programs and Policies” book? Is he or she still bound by it?
Yes. Without negotiations, graduate students are bound by policies into which they have no say. That means that the administration dictates all the rules for all graduate students, and the decisions it makes apply to everyone, no matter what. In contrast, a collective bargaining agreement would be bargained directly by graduate teachers.
