Offers practical advice for achieving shared governance in higher education.Shared Governance in Higher Education Set (Volumes 1, 2 and 3)For those seeking a way to change opinions of shared governance from pointless and unlikely to possible and intriguing, Shared Governance in Higher Education, Volume 1 will trigger meaningful conversations by offering valuable new perspectives. Experienced governance members, the contributors provide practical insights for everyone involved in academic governance and illuminate the subtle aspects of governance that make the difference between success or failure. Each chapter takes a different view of governing within institutions of higher education and explores topics such as engaging all stakeholders (including students) in shared governance; building on the benefits of a large, complex system; and bringing together pressing current needs with realistic strategic planning. Several in-depth descriptions of academic challenges, and the many roles of governance in addressing them, are thoughtfully explored. The contributors look both deeply and broadly, moving beyond platitudes. The result is a volume that will appeal to those beginning their terms of service as governance members or transitioning into leadership positions, as well as those looking for ways to assist others via governance symposia or conferences, and that will enable readers to shape their involvement in shared governance in unique new ways.

Offers valuable insights into the governance process in higher education.Shared Governance in Higher Education Set (Volumes 1, 2 and 3)Building on the resources offered in the first volume of this series, this second volume offers governance members, leaders, and other academics valuable insights into the governance process in higher education. In a chapter drawn from his keynote address at the March 2015 SUNY Voices conference, Steven Bahls, president of Augustana College, provides a critical study of institutions of higher education. Nine additional chapters offer a thorough analysis of academic processes that are usually hidden from view, including development of a sexual assault policy, faculty review of administrators, and successful use of task forces. Contributors describe subtle considerations and compromises, which effective governance leaders can incorporate into collaborations leading to effective outcomes. Readers of this volume will better understand how to avoid pitfalls of their own, as contributors illustrate hard-earned wisdom and lessons learned. Practical insights and guidelines on leadership development, budget development involving governance leaders, and mentoring are provided. This volume will provide readers- faculty, staff, students, and administrators-with the pragmatic resources they need to recognize and resolve governance challenges on their own campuses.

A trilogy exploring different aspects of shared governance in higher education.Shared Governance in Higher Education, Volume 1Shared Governance in Higher Education, Volume 2Shared Governance in Higher Education, Volume 3Pragmatic shared-governance resources are difficult to find. Much written about the topic is theoretical, and few who have in-depth experience take time to describe what they've learned. This series meets the need, enabling new or experienced governance members to have easy access to the insights of governance leaders, representing all stakeholders-faculty, staff, administrators, and students. Each chapter is based on honest analyses of governance experiences. Challenging shared-governance topics-such as navigating accreditation, faculty review of academic deans, diversity, shared accountability, engaging new administrators in shared governance, establishing task forces on difficult topics such as preventing sexual violence, and budget allocations-are thoroughly explored. A rubric for evaluating the effectiveness of shared governance can be used for self-study (Volume 3), as can eight case studies appearing across the three volumes. Comprehensive indices are provided for each volume.
