This bibliography includes citations for empirical studies that draw upon both national survey data and institutional case studies to advance our understanding of the issues, policies, and practices that frame shared governance in American community colleges. References to recent scholarship on institutional governance in other sectors of postsecondary education (i.e., four-year colleges and universities) are included in this bibliography for the purpose of situating the community college governance literature within the larger body of research on governance in higher education. In addition to studies that examine the administrative policies and procedures of community college governance, this bibliography also includes several citations for studies that examine the civic engagement and leadership development opportunities embedded within institutional governance.
