The rise and decline of faculty governance : professionalization and the modern American university / [print] Larry G. Gerber. - Baltimore : John Hopkins University Press, (c)2014. - x, 250 pages ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographies and index.
Faculty professionalization and the rise of shared governance -- College governance before 1876 -- The emergence of a professional faculty, 1870-1920 -- The development of faculty governance, 1920-1940 -- The developing consensus on shared governance, 1940-1975 -- Corporatization and the challenge to shared governance, 1975-present -- Shared governance and the future of liberal education.
The Rise and Decline of Faculty Governance is the first history of shared governance in American higher education. Drawing on archival materials and extensive published sources, Larry G. Gerber shows how the professionalization of college teachers coincided with the rise of the modern university in the late nineteenth century and was the principal justification for granting teachers power in making educational decisions. In the twentieth century, the efforts of these governing faculties were directly responsible for molding American higher education into the finest academic system in the world.
