Good information in this article—the importance of having and engaging in your local @AAUP @AaupMiami chapter & the importance that administrators not serve as senate reps. https://www.chronicle.com/article/How-to-Resist-a-Corporate/249193?key=O01RVfHGcmvIBQW9wWAeoIA_Vtn2-quAYtq4h7Nxj5te1xAvoEtjFOjP0BrPyBngd1BlcDBUSDRHeW9reGdQS1RReVB1bkl5cWZ2a3g2TWZocWQtVG5uaFBTaw
Here is a sign of problem: Faculty and administration do not have the same definition of #SharedGovernance. Faculty using standard Webster definition, but leading admin seems to think it means he tells everyone what to do and then they do it. https://www.chronicle.com/article/How-to-Resist-a-Corporate/249193?key=O01RVfHGcmvIBQW9wWAeoIA_Vtn2-quAYtq4h7Nxj5te1xAvoEtjFOjP0BrPyBngd1BlcDBUSDRHeW9reGdQS1RReVB1bkl5cWZ2a3g2TWZocWQtVG5uaFBTaw
Board of Trustees should see the wisdom of consulting faculty, should not have conflicts of interest, should include some people with background in higher education. (No mention of impt of business ties.) https://www.chronicle.com/article/How-to-Resist-a-Corporate/249193?key=O01RVfHGcmvIBQW9wWAeoIA_Vtn2-quAYtq4h7Nxj5te1xAvoEtjFOjP0BrPyBngd1BlcDBUSDRHeW9reGdQS1RReVB1bkl5cWZ2a3g2TWZocWQtVG5uaFBTaw
“Don’t assume competence or good faith on the part of the administration or board.” https://www.chronicle.com/article/How-to-Resist-a-Corporate/249193?key=O01RVfHGcmvIBQW9wWAeoIA_Vtn2-quAYtq4h7Nxj5te1xAvoEtjFOjP0BrPyBngd1BlcDBUSDRHeW9reGdQS1RReVB1bkl5cWZ2a3g2TWZocWQtVG5uaFBTaw
