Book excerpt: Over the past several decades higher education institutions have faced many criticisms regarding governance. Past studies have shown that as much as 70% of campus faculty and administrators believe decision making processes are ineffective and new approaches are needed. As many scholars point out, however, little empirical research exists and few studies have been conducted to advance the body of literature to better understand the perceptions held by both faculty and administrators in regards to governance, and of those, even fewer in the community college. The literature heavily suggests the way faculty and administrators form perceptions about governance is based on the organizational environment in which they function. Few in-depth studies have attempted to investigate the implications of an organization's environment, as it relates to shared governance. Most research in the area of governance focuses on internal and external forces of colleges, ways of altering structure, faculty participation in governance, student government, faculty senates, governing boards or subunits of these. It is clear that research has been conducted regarding the various afore mentioned areas, and the viewpoints of governance has been described through many lens; faculty, administrator and board of trustees to name a few. However, in areas regarding faculty and administrative perceptions and, how they interact to alter governance, few studies have been conducted. Thus, this study's purpose was to explore institutional governance in a public two-year community college, provide a more comprehensive understanding of institutional governance, and investigate the perceptions of faculty and administrators within this sector. The results provided valuable insight to the site institution regarding participants' perceptions of institutional structure, supervisory relationships, and shared governance. The findings of the study indicated that faculty and administrators significantly differ in these aspects of their organization, and that an environment of trust and cooperation in a community of equals is not the norm. Data analysis provided further evidence of a strong correlation and a significant relationship between institutional structure and shared governance, revealing that faculty and administrators perceptions of shared governance were strongly related to their perception of institutional structure.

This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: This study's purpose was to investigate the level of involvement of Florida's full-time community college faculty in institutional governance, their perceptions of the faculty governance body's role in institutional decision-making, and the characteristics of an ideal governance process. This study also explored the relation between a faculty member's level of involvement in governance activities and his or her perceptions of the desired roles of faculty in institutional governance as well as the relation between a faculty member's level of involvement and his or her gender, race, age, and years of employment. Certain factors that encourage or discourage faculty participation in governance were also studied. Research methods included a 25-item survey (Miller & Vacik, 1998) detailing the purpose of the study and asking questions regarding the faculty member's demographics and level of involvement in governance. The research also included 12 faculty interviews. The interview analysis used established inductive methods. This study has shown that Florida's full-time community college faculty do participate in institutional governance but often do not attend faculty governance body meetings. They are, however, actively involved in service on committees and are likely to attend committee meetings regularly. While Florida's community college faculty can identify the roles faculty governance bodies play in institutional governance, they agree less about the characteristics of an ideal governance process or their perceptions of the roles of their faculty governance bodies. Age does not seem to affect faculty involvement in institutional governance although the race of the faculty member may have some effect. The faculty member's years of experience do not have a major effect on the faculty member's level of involvement. The faculty interviewed desire a faculty voice in decision making and believe that governance structures and processes should enable faculty to make their opinions known to all members of the college community. The influence of the college president and the senate president is critical for shared governance. The senate president should have access to the highest level of decision-making at the college.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community college governance is a process for distributing authority, influence, and resources among internal and external constituencies. Having evolved from traditional public school bureaucratic and political models that emphasize control and oversight, community college governance is now a dynamic process with a host of participants. Gone are the days when presidents and trustees acted unilaterally on college issues. Although boards retain the legal authority to govern their colleges, prudent trustees now encourage broad-based involvement in governance. Nationwide, the trend is toward more participation and shared responsibility, and some states are codifying the process. For example, the California legistlature has mandated a shared governance system in public community colleges, reflecting the movement toward involvement and transparency. College leaders resist or ignore that trend to the detriment of their colleges and at their own peril. Interest in community college governance will increase among scholars and practitioners for many reasons. Enrollments are increasing rapidly while funding is not keeping pace. Taxpayer resistance is a reality. Workforce training programs will compete with transfer curricula for resources. Increasing numbers of poorly prepared students will require remediation. For-profit institutions will compete for students. Employee unions will press for better salaries and benefits and meaning participation in governance. Special interest groups will continue electing advocates to governing boards. P-19 initiatives will require close collaboration with public schools. In the meantime, rogue trustees will try the patience of everyone. Traditional governance models will not suffice in this demanding arena. Governance structures that are more collegial, flexible, and inclusive will be essential in the future as community colleges evolve to meet the needs of an increasingly complex and diverse society. Chapters include Community College Governance: What Matters and Why? Governance over the Years: A Trustee's Perspective Governance in a Union Environment Internal Governance in the Community College: Models and Quilts The Effect of the Community College Workforce Development Mission on Governance Closing the Gaps in Texas: The Critical Role of Community Colleges Yanks, Canucks, and Aussies: Governance as Liberation Governance in Strategic Context Key Resources on Community College Governance This is the 141th volume of the Jossey-Bass higher education quarterly report series New Directions for Community Colleges, an essential guide for presidents, vice presidents, deans, and other leaders in today's open-door institutions, this quarterly provides expert guidance in meeting the challenges of their distinctive and expanding educational mission.
