OT Tex Shared governance is the norm at most colleges and universities, including those with bargaining units for faculty. Most true models of faculty governance went out the window long ago - even at small private liberal arts colleges. You have to go back to the medieval University of Bologna in Italy to find a situation where students hired and fired faculty :-).

Most administrators/managers on the academic side of the house are or were faculty. Many return to teaching ranks, some continue to teach a class and/or advise a few students whilst they are managing - but they are administrators primarily, not faculty while they hold management/administrative posts.
