When the corporate storm strikes the academy, faculty must be willing and able to repel administrative assaults upon academic freedom, shared governance, and tenure. This paper will describe the on-going clash between administrators who embrace the corporate mindset and faculty who cherish traditions of shared governance and collegial decision-making. The corporate model of management will be contrasted with the shared governance model. A brief explanation of those forces that fueled the corporate takeover will be provided. Lastly, suggestions for faculty action designed to halt/slow down the eroding force of corporatization will be shared.
