This chapter argues that Canadian professors have significant decision-making power at the level of the academic department but limited influence at the level of the institution. The data confirm professors in Canada are critical of the administrative processes at their institutions and feel detached from broader governance systems. This chapter uses (Enders et al., From governance to identity: A festschrift for Mary Henkel, Springer, pp. 113–129, 2008) five prong approach to governance to illustrate how managerialism and collegiality can co-exist across multiple spaces in the university. The final sections of this chapter offer recommendations for improving communication and academic participation in the governance of Canadian universities.
