We are all working for what is best for the institutions. No one makes a bad decision on purpose just like faculty are not bad teachers on purpose. Some institutions are having a very difficult time with the issues of trust. Perhaps the president should ask on what decisions faculty want to have input, on what issues they want to be informed, etc. Some have created a college assembly in place of committees, everything else is ad hoc.
People work on a project until it is done.
Mostly people on the assembly are people who are in academic administration as well as administrators from other areas. If you want to get an idea adopted, have a faculty member suggest the idea and you act a bit reluctant to accept it. Then the faculty will be more likely to adopt it. We cannot take so long to make decisions. One institution has tried for nine years to revise general education and still does not have it done.
