Abstract	Research on the current state and potential of shared governance is limited. In this study, we utilize grounded theory to develop a new conceptual model that can be used to frame shared governance research and practice. Perspectives of 13 faculty senate presidents at 4-year public regional comprehensive universities are analyzed with a focus on understanding how they define and experience shared governance. The resulting conceptual model of this exploratory study highlights four tensions evident in the data including opaqueness versus transparency in the process, limited versus inclusive participation, intransigent versus compromising orientation, and a proactive versus reactive approach. We discussed several implications for higher education leaders and outline directions for future research that can apply the new conceptual model. (HRK / Abstract übernommen).
