We discuss the story of how the Mitchell Hamline School of Law, born from the merger of two established institutions, undertook the complex process of rewriting its tenure code. As mergers in higher education become more common, the challenges of blending distinct cultures, policies, and faculty expectations are increasingly in the spotlight. Our guests are Linda Hanson, president emerita at Hamline University, and David Larson, law professor at the Mitchell Hamline School of Law and a Senior Fellow at the Dispute Resolution Institute. 

Joining us for today's conversation is Allen Adamson, a true marketing wizard and the author of the fantastic new book, Seeing the How: Transforming. Transforming What People Do, Not Buy, To Gain Market Advantage Alan is not just any marketing expert—he's a visionary who has worked with some of the world's leading brands, and he's here to share insights that are highly relevant for higher education. Allen's latest book is all about the power of experience innovation, a concept that can transform how we think about the student experience. We often hear about the importance of what we teach, but Allen is going to challenge us to think about how we deliver that education and why the student experience is so crucial in today's competitive landscape. We'll explore how universities can distinguish themselves by focusing on the overall experience they offer, from campus life to support services, and even how they integrate technology. Alan will share practical strategies for understanding and enhancing the student journey, drawing from his vast experience in the corporate world and beyond. So, grab a cup of coffee, get comfortable, and get ready for a thought-provoking conversation that may just leave you feeling a little bit uncomfortable. Keywords experience innovation, product transformation, marketing, higher education, brand promise, customer needs, consensus-driven environment, focus, execution, brand, unique experience, vision, customer journey, touch points, lenses, differentiation, higher education Takeaways ·       Experience innovation is about changing how the product fits into the customer's life and the overall experience it provides. ·       In higher education, the focus should shift from the product (education) to the experience. ·       Universities have multiple customers, including students, parents, faculty, and donors, and the brand needs to work for all of them. ·       Executing a brand promise is challenging in a consensus-driven environment, but it's important to focus on one key area of excellence. ·       Word of mouth and social media play a significant role in shaping brand perception. ·       Shared governance can limit the ability of colleges and universities to move forward with their brand promise. ·       Some universities, like NYU, have successfully integrated their brand into the city they are located in, providing a unique experience for students. Having a clear vision and the authority, resources, and time to execute it are crucial for creating a strong brand and delivering a unique experience. ·       Understanding the customer or student journey and identifying touch points for improvement can lead to significant enhancements in the overall experience. ·       Looking at the market through different lenses can help identify opportunities that may be right in front of us but are often overlooked. ·       Staying true to an organization's roots and leveraging its DNA can drive innovation and differentiation. ·       In higher education, focusing on a specific target audience and innovating on the student experience can help institutions better differentiate themselves.

Andrea Young is vice president for finance and administration and associate professor of mathematical sciences at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana. In this episode, Young joins host Donna Schiele to discuss her career journey in higher education administration, the importance of shared governance, and building consortium relationships.   "I think that oftentimes, particularly if one is new to higher education, shared governance can really be a big culture shift and can seem as though it is antithetical to change, that it's a barrier to getting work done," she says. Young goes on to explain how she sees shared governance as an opportunity for collaboration and sustainable change, not an obstacle.   Join us for a conversation with Andrea Young as she talks about leveraging the CFO's role as a strategic advisor, tackling impostor syndrome, and using consortiums to provide better student mental health services.   Links Andrea Young on LinkedIn Check out NACUBO's other podcasts!

Associated Students of Madison Shared Governance Chair Katie McGlasson

Ms. Rankin is the Magnet program director and Clinical Nurse Leader program director at CMC.  She discusses how partnership with a Shared Governance model will enhance our response in the setting of a Pandemic.  

Dr. Philip Rous is provost and senior vice president for academic affairs of University of Maryland Baltimore County. He has been at UMBC for 29 years, both as a faculty member and administrator. He tries to facilitate the community as a whole to grow and expand.  Founded in 1966, UMBC is a relatively young public research university that is building a new model of a modern university. The campus, which currently has 14,000 students, emphasizes a liberal arts foundation at the undergraduate level, and science, engineering, information technology, human services and public policy at the graduate level.   Weighing in on Shared Responsibility  Dr. Rous prefers the term “shared responsibility” instead of shared governance, believing that this term recognizes that universities cannot function without some degree of shared responsibilities. This ranges from the faculty taking primary responsibly for curriculum and program design while administration takes responsibility for some aspects of the budget. However, everyone on the campus shares in the responsibility, which is derived from a set of shared values.  This reframing opens up the conversation and also reveals solutions that are encountered with shared governance. Individuals also are able to think more deeply about values as well as to consider the values that different stakeholders share.  Dr. Rous feels that taking this approach helps governance move forward through a weighted decision-making process, i.e., that while decisions are shared, they are differently weighted based on the type of decision. For example, faculty’ voices are given more weight in making decisions in certain specific areas such as curriculum and programs, while administration carries more weight regarding decisions in other areas such as parking lots, budgets, and the like. There also are some areas where there is sufficient overlap in decision-making, requiring faculty and administration to work together.  Shared Values  Founding shared responsibility on shared values helps guide stakeholders when making sticky decisions. These shared values quickly become evident across campus. For example, Dr. Rous typically meets with teams from other universities after they have visited UMBC. These teams often ask him how he was able to get everyone to tell the same stories on campus. Dr. Rous responds that this is a characteristic of the institution, even though the institution doesn’t have a values statement. He credits these common values to the institution’s relatively young age and that the individuals who are part of UMBC’s founding and growth were very intentional in emphasizing the values that they felt were important. This carries through to current times; for example, when hiring for a position, the university seeks and hires only individuals who share both the institutional values and strong expertise.   A Faculty Flow to Leadership  Many of the individuals who move into UMBC’s top leadership positions, including provost and deans, also have been active in shared governance on the faculty side before taking on these roles. For example, Dr. Rous is a former president of the university’s faculty senate. The former dean of arts, humanities and social sciences also was a UMBC’s faculty senate president while the current dean and the associate provost also served in that role with the faculty senate at other institutions.   Because of this pipeline, Dr. Rous believes the people who are moving into these leadership positions understand the responsibilities, share the institutional values, and want to make a difference.  They often see part of their career spent serving in administration and supporting the institution as a whole.  Leadership Development  Early in the institution’s history, there was no formal leadership development training. However, the early leaders realize that leadership development was really needed on the campus and began to develop avenues to support emerging leaders. Dr. Rous believes that one of the fundamental responsibilities of a leader is to nurture the next generation of leaders.   There now is a formal training available for individuals who are incoming department chairs. The institution now taps national organizations’ training, such as the American Council on Education Fellows Program through hosting its fellows on campus and nominating UMBC faculty who have leadership potential to serve as fellows for a year. Many of these individuals have moved into leadership positions or are capable of doing so, thus creating a leadership pipeline.   Transparency  Sharing information also is important to good shared governance. At UMBC, the shared governance heads (e.g., president of the faculty senate) serve on the president’s council with all the deans and vice presidents. Their inclusion helps advance the shared governance heads’ understanding of how the university works and how top administrators interact in relation to complicated issues.   Communication also is important. Dr. Rous believes there can never be enough communication and transparency, especially in complex institutions such as colleges and universities. Often, when there is a disagreement, it arises because one stakeholder doesn’t have a piece of information that the other one does. Dr. Rous noted that as a faculty member, he didn’t fully understand many of the key decisions made by the administration. He began to learn to take into account the complexity of these decisions once he served as faculty senate president.  Faculty members who are involved in research and teaching shouldn’t be expected to understand the ins and outs of the budget – this isn’t what the institution is asking the faculty member to do. With shared governance, it’s important to provide enough transparency and information to faculty members to help them understand the various aspects of a decision.  3 Recommendations for Higher Education Leaders  Dr. Rous suggested three take-aways for university presidents:  Institutions must have a common set of shared values and have stakeholders realize there are these shared values, especially during moments of disagreement.  Trust is vital and must be earned. Trust doesn’t come automatically. It comes through developing the trust by demonstrating it continuously through doing what you say it will do and listening. Trust goes both ways among leadership and faculty. Sometimes it takes time to develop trust.  There must be respect for shared governance. The administrators need to make sure that what they say or do is in alignment with shared governance. It’s also important for administrators to personally demonstrate their own commitment to shared governance and protect it at the institution, even though it may take more time to make a decision.  Bullet Points  Shared responsibility provides another way of thinking about shared governance.  Weighting decision-making responsibility can help smooth out discord.   Having shared institutional values can give a point of reference when various stakeholders make decisions.  Open communication and transparency are crucial to foster shared governance and shared responsibility.   Faculty leaders should be developed for institutional administration positions. These individuals have experience at the faculty level as well as in faculty leadership. Those perspectives will help them navigate the challenges faced at the institutional level.  Faculty as well as faculty leaders need to be provided with a wide range of information to help them fully understand complex issues. They often do not have complete information so they may have a limited perspective and be making (or resisting) decisions from an uninformed place.  Links to Articles, Apps, or websites mentioned during the interview:  President Speaks: Shared governance key to becoming an “empowered university”  University of Maryland – Baltimore County (UMBC)  Bio of Dr. Philip Rous  Guests Social Media Links:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/philip-rous-1804a325/   The Change Leader’s Social Media Links:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drdrumm/  Twitter: @thechangeldr   Email: podcast@changinghighered.com

Shared Governance 101

I’m excited to introduce a very special charla focused on the topic of Shared Governance at SDSU. I was thrilled to provide this platform to host a conversation amongst some of our campus Shared Governance advocates while I was at our SDSU Georgia campus. If you don’t know what Shared Governance is you are about to find out. Shared Governance is ultimately about trust, a value central to my leadership and our university. I am a Shared Governance advocate and my hope is that you will be one too. Enjoy the charla!  -Adela de la Torre

Howard Teibel’s latest feature, “A Voice, a Vote, and a Veto,” hits the pages of this month’s issue of NACUBO Business Officer Magazine. It’s an approach to shared governance you might not be hearing right now, not focusing on rules, regulations, or fiduciary responsibility, rather addressing the human dynamic of shared governance and how developing your institutional skill in collaboration fosters balance and growth across academic, administration and board leadership. Our conversation today serves as both a preview, and a roadmap of three key concepts that will help you and your administrative and academic units to approach shared governance with a keen eye on the objectives you seek to achieve.  Special thanks to Dorothy Bassett who assisted in research and crafting this article. It will appear in the print edition of the magazine for one month before release online. We’ll replace the link as soon as it is available.  Links & Notes NACUBO Business Officer Magazine

They said it could not be done with shared governance, a model where the academic senate has equal say in decisions made that impact the whole university. How does this model work when you are trying to implement a search engine or any other enterprise software solution? This organizational structure is common and challenges many universities. On this special edition of Higher Ed Live, Kevin McGlynn speaks with us about implementing large projects in a federated environment at University of Oxford. He'll share experience implementing one software solution centrally, and another on the outskirts, in isolation. Both approaches have their merits and both have been successful for different reasons.

This week on Navigating Change, we’re talking about the space between power and control on campus. It is somewhere between these two concepts that there exists a détente between well-meaning though protective faculty and campus leaders. As an ideal, each recognizes their own power and influence, and uses it to build a better community of learners. More often, power is wielded to protect turf and demonstrate authority at the expense of true progress. Today, Howard Teibel and Pete Wright discuss the tools and controls in place to help institutional leaders come to agreement and craft a model of shared governance each can be proud to own.

Our on-going series on governance brings us to the faculty perspective this week. From the point of view of an academic leader in the institution, we’re interested in putting a framework around expectations of governance, in particular: how do we do shared governance effectively in our institutions? Given the sometimes subtle nuance between authority, accountability, and responsibility for leadership, how do we know when we’re doing it well? This week on the show, Professor Steve Fowl joins us to share his insights as an academic leader on what makes shared governance work. As a member of faculty, Steve paints a picture of an environment in which there exists clear and effective collaboration between faculty, administration, and board leadership.
