Colleges and universities face a variety of challenges in meeting
the needs of students, and one of the greatest is their ability to
respond to student needs while protecting institutional and
academic integrity. For those working with students, a primary
example of this challenge is the involvement of students in shared
decision-making, a process often developed and fostered through
organizations such as student government. Few discussions have
embraced the challenges of shared governance with students,
particularly within the past two decades. This book arose from
continuous conversations with college and university administrators
and policy makers who struggle daily with the decision- making
process and the role of student voices. The volume is also intended
to be an extension of the Julie Caplow and Michael Miller volume on
Policy and University Governance (2003) that looked at internal and
external governance issues and their impact on institutional policy
formation and decision-making. The collections of chapters included
here provide a comprehensive view of student involvement in policy
formation and decisionmaking. The volume begins with a general
overview of the challenges associated with investing students with
power, authored by Tulane University's Morolake O.
Laosebikan-Buggs. Michael Miller and Daniel Nadler then provide a
rationale as to why students have been involved in shared
decision-making in the past, outline the benefits and problems
historically associated with student shared governance, and offer
some meaningful recommendations for continuing to work with
students.
