Abstract	Different circumstances led institutions to increase their reliance on corporate practices. In searching for ways to curb the influence of corporate practices on higher education, it seems reasonable to look toward the faculty. Faculty, especially those who are tenured or on the tenure track, are regarded as "officers" of their institutions and are therefore entrusted with significant institutional responsibilities in shared governance and are expected to play the primary role in decisions concerning instruction, research, and faculty status. Neil W. Hamilton, in his 2002 book, "Academic Ethics: Problems and Materials on Professional Conduct and Shared Governance," refers to the unwritten agreement between faculty members at colleges and universities and the society these institutions serve. Hamilton's description of this agreement, or social compact, suggests a promising approach to resolving the corporatization problem and is discussed in this article. (Contains 2 notes.) (ERIC).
