What is shared governance and how does it relate to the individual faculty member?
‘Shared governance’ is the University of California’s policy of having the Senate faculty share with the Administration in running of the university and formulation of campus policies. Faculty usually participate in this endeavor by serving on departmental, college, campus, or systemwide committees, and/or participating in leadership roles, such as Department Chair, Dean, Vice Provost, etc.
