You are saying that shared governance in a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote engaged, critical thinking is unrelated to federal, state and university statutes?  Just a way of "viewing" a university?  People who reference shared governance have their "head in the clouds" because its all really a business? But people who ignore statutes and tradition, repeatedly explained to them, are what--grounded? Non-ideological?

Imagine you are sitting in a business class in a university, as your professor is explaining to you the legal terms differentiating for-profit from non-profit organizations, and the guy next to you blurts out that "non-profit" is just an ideological liberal view of organizations.

That student is you, if we take it a step further and add "shared governance" to non profit. 

Here, as on other threads, law and organizational relations seem invisible to you. Still just employees disobeying employers, while "on the clock," regardless of facts--like the "employers" are just employees too. It's all still just employers and employees. Even a governing board must work for "owners" and execute "their wishes." This is a box outside of which you apparently just cannot think. Even the military has to be a business with "owners" and "employees."
