(2019) An anthropology of academic governance and institutional democracy, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
UT Dallas proves that an effective system of shared governance based on the same principles as the University of California can be established in states without California's clear legal protections and support. UT Dallas took its current institutional form, with a full range of graduate and undergraduate programs, in 1975. This chapter describes how its administrative structure and faculty governance organization were developed by its faculty and administration interactively, beginning at this time. The description includes the important role of the accreditation process in developing and consolidating this governance system, how the system has withstood near collapse, and how it has responded to the increasing reliance on non-tenure-track faculty by incorporating them.
