SHARED GOVERNANCE CONVERSATION During the 2022-23 academic year, a group of faculty and administrators gathered regularly to develop a deeper understanding of traditional shared governance, defined as the interrelationship between faculty leaders, generally through Faculty Senate, the administration, and the Board of Trustees. Information on the work conducted by this group was included on the Shared Governance website for the university community. The website includes the various works that were read, including the “Statement on Government of Colleges and Universities,” jointly issued in 1966 by three organizations that represent faculty, administration, and governing boards. This statement is often cited as the foundation for shared governance work.
