What's the Impediment?:\n\nStructural and Legal Constraints toShared Governance in the Community College  \nJOHN S.LEVIN*  \nThe University of Arizona  \n## ABSTRACT\n\nThis research examines the legal foundations and bases for shared orco-governance in the community college through an examination of gov-ernment legislation and institutional collective agreements between col-leges and faculty in two countries,Canada and the U.S.This multi-caseinvestigation identifies impediments to shared governance,and con-cludes that except in one legal jurisdiction,shared governance is eitherimpeded legally or not supported by government legislation.  \n## RESUMÉ\n\nCette recherche examine les bases et fondements légaux pour lacodirection ou la direction partagée dans les colleges communautaires atravers une étude de la législation gouvernementale et des accordscollectifs institutionnels entre les colleges et les facultés de deux pays:leCanada et les Etats-Unis.Cette investigation de plusieurs cas identifieles obstacles auxquels la codirection fait face et conclut qu'à I'exceptiond’une juridiction légale,une codirection soit fait face à des obstacleslégaux ou soit n'a pas le soutien de la législation gouvernementale.  \n## THE PROBLEM\n\nTwo parallel conditions have accompanied the development of thecommunity college in both Canada and the United States over that pasttwo decades:the practice of increased hierarchy and managerialism onthe one hand (Bryant,1992;Dennison &Gallagher,1986;Levin,1995;Raisman,1990;Seidman,1985)and the promotion of employee partici-pation in decision-making,on the other hand (Alfred,1994;Cohen &Brawer,1996).From one perspective,these conditions appear contradic-tory;from another perspective,they can be seen as complementary.Recent introductions and promotions of what is referred to as sharedgovernance,or equally,co-governance,in the community college appearconnected to collegiality,and a connection to collegiality suggests possi-ble contradiction with increased hierarchy and managerialism.Yet,shared governance finds its home not in the collegial model of gover-nance but in the political model(Baldridge,Curtis,Ecker,&Riley,1977).The reasons include the implication of two or more parties,suchas administration and faculty,or two systems of authority(Rhoades,1992),inolved in decision-making,as opposed to one unit,the collegium(Baldridge et al.,1977;Goodman,1962;Hardy,1996).  \nShared governance in the community college is more accuratelydescribed as “political”in that there is voluntary exchange of goods,ser-vices,and loyalties among self-interested actors(March &Olsen,1995).College leaders seek to effect organizational responsiveness and effec-tiveness by altering governance from attention to rules,duties,and tasks—the more bureaucratic and rational approach to governance —todeal-making and collective action.Top-down or autocratic governanceand management are castigated,not because they are morally repugnant,but because they are viewed as inefficient,unable to cope with risingexternal forces and strong internal interests,such as faculty unions(Alfred,1994;Baker,1993).Shared governance in community collegesin North America is motivated by advancing corporatism within theseinstitutions,including greater pressure from external forces to compete,to grow,and to survive(Levin,1998).  \n## Structural and Legal Constraints to Shared Governance 89in the Community College\n\nThere are,however,several impediments to the establishment andfunctioning of shared governance in the community college.The firstand foremost impediment is the legislative framework for the institutionand for institutional governance.Second,there are legal agreements,specifically collective bargaining agreements,that bind the institution tocertain behaviors.And third,there are a host of moral,practical,andoperational factors that may help or hinder the establishment and func-tioning of shared governance.These include individual behaviors,pro-fessional codes and sanctions,","cbCaio20bcH9qtqY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaio20bcH9qtqY","pdf",1082438,36,"English","# Abstract\n# The Problem\n# Structural and Legal Constraints to Shared Governance in the Community
