Collaborative Governance

University College faculty, staff, and students are committed to collaborative governance in fulfilling the mission of the College and in bringing to reality the principles that guide work with students.

The following tenets of collaborative governance have been adopted by the faculty, staff, and students of University College:

Several groups within University College have expertise to contribute to University College and a stake in its outcomes.

Decision-making is horizontal, not vertical, and those with the best perspective on a given issue should have the greatest input.

• Collaborative governance moves forward the collective agenda within University College and beyond.
• The University College governance structure must link with campus/University governance structures.
• Collaborative governance promotes linkages with similar interests across campus and throughout the University.
• Decision-making is a process that requires both input and feedback.
