Survey on Shared Governance Available
Shared governance in higher education is not in as bad a state as either its critics or its defenders sometimes suggest, according to Gabriel Kaplan, a doctoral student at Harvard University, who completed a survey on the topic in 2001. Kaplan collected information from administrators and faculty members at 350 public institutions and 532 private institutions on how governance is structured, the extent of faculty participation in it, and attitudes toward it. The survey (.pdf), which was modeled in part on a 1970 survey conducted by the AAUP’s Committee on College and University Government, received some funding from the AAUP.
