Shared governance under fire

by E Wayne Ross on June 24, 2005

The May-June issue of AAUP’s Academe focuses on the issue of shared governance.

This issue contains an article by Workplace co-editor Gary Rhoades titled “Capitalism, Academic Style, and Shared Governance”. Rhoades argues that restoring higher education’s democratic commitment requires more than a restoration of the faculty’s internal role in shared governance. It demands an expansion of perspective beyond the academy, and new mechanisms within the academy for democratizing governance.
