This study examined shared governance in public, unionized community colleges and creates a national inventory of areas in which faculty participate in governance according to the language of collective-bargaining agreements. The findings suggest that community college faculty are engaged in shared governance in both the traditional academic areas such as faculty evaluation, curriculum, sabbatical, and tenure recommendations, and in the nontraditional areas such as budget and retrenchment decisions. Document analysis of 238 contracts representing 301 community colleges in 22 states was used to determine faculty participation in institutional governance. The results are intended to increase the understanding of shared governance in the community college.
