Shared Governance begins with the premise that today’s higher
education governance practices have lost their focus and vitality.
By re-examining the original suppositions of shared governance,
along with an infusion of seminal democratic values and principles,
a contemporary model is envisioned. From historical perspectives on
shared governance, the book then takes a view of current governance
models through the lens of Critical Theory and Open Systems
Thinking. Political, corporate, and school system models are
briefly reviewed before moving on to application to colleges and
universities. Each chapter concludes with a continuous story of a
young and maturing college vice president as she grapples with a
static and worn governance system at her institution. She strives
to reinvigorate the notion of shared governance and to bring staff
and students into the process. The final three chapters of the book
each include an essay written by individuals who have served on the
ground level of shared governance at their institution. These
people include: an administrative assistant who helped to create a
Staff Council; a Student Government Association president who took
a nascent SGA and gave students a new voice; and, an associate dean
who mentored students in this developmental process.
