“Dr. Horner’s twenty-five years of work have focused on effective faculty governance, working diligently with faculty, staff, students, and administration. Horner strongly advocates that productive campus affairs begins with the democratic process. As an educator of American Government, he continuously champions the democratic process as a leader in curriculum affairs and campus shared governance.”

“The Task Force’s efforts to make sure faculty and staff have a seat at the table (and a head seat at that) in the development of AI-related policies and training modules exemplify this award’s dedication to inclusive and participatory governance. I am inclined to nominate this group for the Shared Governance Group Award not just because they formed in the spirit of shared governance, met, did careful research, and wrote a detailed report, but because their work was received by administration and has resulted in actual policy implementation.“
