As was carefully explained to my colleagues and I, shared governance means that faculty are allowed to make recommendations to administration, which administration does not have to listen to or acknowledge. Unstated: they also may use recorded votes to punish individuals who aren’t supportive.

@ThreeSigma @academicchatter this is crazy. I'm sorry for you. I can't imagine a public university in which the faculty don't have primary responsibility for teaching and the curriculum and decisions therein

@bud_t @academicchatter This was “shared” because we did so much work in making the recommendations that could be ignored.

@bud_t @academicchatter I worked at a school that did this. They took away our ability to vote. It was such a toxic place to work.
