As a member of the Marshall community, I\u2019d like to update you about the work our committee has been doing and give you a sense of our planned outcomes. Our primary goal is to establish a structure of shared governance at Marshall in which processes of decision-making are transparent, clearly communicated, accessible, distributed among the proper constituents, and efficient. We also aim to nurture a culture of shared governance that values trust, transparency, and engagement.<\/p>\n To achieve these goals, we are currently benchmarking models of shared governance at other institutions, as well as assessing our current system of shared governance at Marshall. This is where we need you<\/strong>. Please offer us your feedback about the current processes of shared\/participatory decision-making at Marshall and<\/strong>, importantly, how you think they could be improved. Your feedback can be submitted through the following form: https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/shared-governance\/comment-form\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n Please submit your feedback by October 28, as we will be finalizing our recommendations in early November.<\/p>\n Robin Conley Riner, PhD<\/p>\n Professor of Anthropology Faculty Representative, Marshall University Board of Governors<\/em><\/p>\n A Marshall University Shared Governance Ad Hoc committee has been appointed and is in the process of assessing and rebuilding shared governance at Marshall University.<\/p>\n Updates will be posted to this webpage throughout the process.<\/p>\n Comments\/questions may be submitted through the Feedback Form tab at the top of this page.<\/p>\n Please check back!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Shared Governance Conference Schedule The Power of We: Nurturing shared governance amidst present and future challenges Date: October 7, 2025 Location: MSC BE5 9:00 AM – 9:15 AM: Welcome and Opening Remarks: President Brad Smith 9:15 AM – 10:45 AM Panel Session 1: Shared Governance Standards in Practice Chair: Shawn Gilmore (U of Illinois at<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":48,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/shared-governance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/shared-governance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/shared-governance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/shared-governance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/shared-governance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3"}],"version-history":[{"count":34,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/shared-governance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":223,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/shared-governance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3\/revisions\/223"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/shared-governance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/shared-governance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
