2. Why are we doing this? 1.Vacancy issues within governance. 2.We have grown and changed since by-laws written about formula for representation on the Senate, etc. 3.We have observed governance in action and think we could do better, building on what we see has and has not worked here at SSU. 4.We have reviewed the literature written by scholars about the context for governance today, what has proved to be helpful in governance and the variety of perspectives that can be used to analyze governance.

3. Why are we doing this? Examples: Improving Faculty Governance: Cultivating Leadership and Collaboration in Decision-Making. Michael Miller (2003). What is More Important to Effective Governance: Relationships, Trust and Leadership, or Structures and Formal Processes? Adrianna Kezar. (2004).
