This book was released on 2006 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College governance is a function of structure and of how people act within that structure. Organizational strategies no longer identify administrations as monopolies that possess all of the good ideas. Recent organizational management approaches to governance promote inclusiveness in decision-making and are at odds with the community college's historical structures, with K-12 roots, which foster strong, control-oriented leadership. This study describes and explains perspectives on shared governance among selected community college representative leaders at a Vanguard community college. Results indicate that community college governance coordination is not static and its success is based on historical and cultural influences. Colleges are socially constructed organizations influenced by current stakeholders building upon the foundation laid out by those before them. The social influences are both internal and external. Local and state funding decisions, accreditation requirements, legal decisions, social/cultural trends, economic demands, and leadership philosophies influence the governance of a community college. Many governance systems in colleges don't work because they address content (the knowledge, structure, and data in a college) or process (the activities and behaviors), but fail to address the context in which both of those elements reside. The determinant of people's action isn't what they know but how they perceive the world around them. How to appropriately involve classified staff, faculty, managers, and students in decision-making is a concern for college presidents and boards. However, if they ignore the role college constituents can play in creative development and problem solving, presidents and boards run the risk of missing out on the best solutions facing the college.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to study the effectiveness of the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges. The four major objectives were: describe the historical development of the Senate; determine the effectiveness of the methods by which the Senate provides for community college faculty to participate in academic and professional governance; determine the effectiveness of the Senate, as understood by the membership and others with whom it interacts, in meeting the purpose and goals which the organization and relevant others have established for it; and, interpret the impact of the Senate on its environment. The method of study was naturalistic and included: (1) Participant Observation, centering on accreditation issues; (2) Questionnaires, distributed to three groups (faculty-- 46%, senate presidents-- 70%, college president-- 70%); (3) Interviews, elite and informal, conducted with individuals who had special knowledge about the Senate; (4) Paradigm (three), developed as a perspective for data analysis, based on organizational effectiveness behavior, which are conceptually discrete but empirically related, were used to frame and integrate the analysis. The findings indicated the Senate history has been influenced by legislative and cultural/social events, as well as California economy. Historically, the senate participated in shared governance and collegial activities in numerous ways. The data analysis revealed that, in general, the Senate was viewed as less effective by the faculty and college presidents, and most effective by senate presidents and interview respondents. Questionnaire respondents were requested to provide an overall effectiveness evaluation of the Senate. The faculty thought the Senate Moderately Effective while the senate and college presidents considered it Effective. When the effectiveness behavior characteristics of the paradigm were juxtaposed against Senate behavior, characteristics of all three paradigm were often demonstrated singularly, as well as simultaneously. The conclusions identified four major problem areas: (1) Communication with faculty members; (2) Need for local senates to develop more uniform strength statewide; (3) Need for the Senate to actively consider its role as a political force; (4) Concern for whether the Senate can maintain or increase its effectiveness without a formalized method or program for leadership development.
