College and University Government: Lindenwood College

The investigating committee concludes that current conditions for academic governance are truly deplorable. Only in the matter of detailed course content has the Lindenwood College faculty retained its traditional role. If there is any other aspect of faculty involvement touched on in the Statement on Government where faculty members at Lindenwood College have anything more than a token role, this investigating committee has failed to detect it..


The text of this report was written by the members of the investigating committee. In accordance with Association practice, the text was then edited by the Association's staff. and as revised, with the concurrence of the investigating committee, was submitted to Committee T on College and University Government. With the approval of Committee T it was subsequently sent to the administration of  Lindenwood College, to the chair of the board of trustees, to the AAUP chapter,  and to other persons concerned in the report. In the light of the responses received and with the editorial assistance of the Association's staff, this report was published in the May-June 1994 issue of Academe.
