It features a series of reflections on faculty life during the pandemic as well as articles that look ahead to the near- and long-term challenges of the COVID-19 crisis in higher education."

About this Site

I served as Chair of The Pennsylvania State University Faculty Senate for a a short term, April 2012-April 2013. During that year I tried to enhance transparency and engagement in shared governance, in part, by contributing to a blog: The Faculty Voice: Sharing While Chairing the Penn State University Senate." It was specifically focused on issues and affairs that touch on the role of the PSU Faculty Senate and its work. Though the materials are specific to Penn State, it was written to have relevance to the functioning of shared governance generally within universities and colleges. People within and outside the Penn State faculty were encouraged to read and engage.
This blog is the successor to "The Faculty Voice." It serves as a purely personal site created with the object of developing an independent site for engagement in the study of shared governance generally within an academic context. It focuses on those issues that should be of general concern to the public. It does not embrace a particular view or ideology, nor is it meant to serve as the mouthpiece for any one of the many stakeholders with significant interests in education. It is neither affiliated with nor does it in any way represent the views of Penn State University or any of its affiliates. I invite you, whether or not you are involved in the "business" of education to read and join in the conversation.
