Recommend reading the thoughtfully published piece on shared governance in higher education. By acknowledging differences of opinion, the hope is that administrative and academic leaders can forge a path forward for institutional success.
Fact: Faculty and administrators are concerned about many of the same issues — but differ on how to solve them. Explore the findings of a new survey undertaken by Huron in collaboration with the American Council on Education (ACE) and The Chronicle of Higher Education and ways the two groups can set aside their differences to pursue joint success. https://bit.ly/4dX1C81#TeamHuron
Faculty want clear communication and budget transparency from administrators. And what administrators want from faculty is a willingness to embrace change. Sean Gallagher, Ed.D. and I look for the common ground in "Resilient Institutions and Shared Governance," our summary of a survey undertaken by Huron in collaboration with the American Council on Education (ACE) and The Chronicle of Higher Education. https://bit.ly/4dX1C81#TeamHuron

Having worked 'both sides of the aisle' (faculty, administration), the first time I read through these findings, I read in hope of finding new ideas for creating a Better We on our campuses. While I didn't discover any then, the second time I read through these data after finishing two post postmortems about recent IHE closures, I was struck all the more by some of the perceptual discrepancies highlighted in this graphic--'Clear communication,' 'Budget transparency,' and 'Willingness to embrace change.' The leading factors contributing to those closures, as cited in those postmortems, aligned perfectly, which won't be a surprise to many. Yet what are we--you--doing to effect a Better We at your institution or in your work with higher-ed agencies? I hope you'll share here how you're focused on not just 'saving' higher ed but making it 21st Century relevant and purposeful. I'll post later--and would love to hear from you in the meanwhile.
