You can probably compare what they should be doing and what actual happens on the ground in the dad-to-day operations of higher education institutions. You would probably find that practice is ahead of policy or theory is ahead of practice. Here's a link that could be helpful:
This question raises rather an interesting conundrum.
A “teacher stakeholder” in this context occupies three interconnected roles.
Firstly they are an employee and so may be seen as the representatives speaking to the interests of the teaching body. Alternatively, the professional obligations of “the teacher” are such that they are the advocate of the students’ best interests and so speak for the student body. This is complicated by the possibility that the student body may also have representation. Finally the “teacher”, as an academic, has a professional responsibility for the integrity of the curriculum and teaching quality. These factors, of course, may also be the declared responsibility of specialist administrators of the “qualitariat”.
The role of “the teacher” in such a context is largely dependent on what the role of “the teacher/academic” is seen to be in such a university. In short is it:
a) Corporate - where the role of “the teacher” is to “deliver” what has been specified and paid for by “the customer”. Here the role in governance is that of employee.
b) Collegiate - where the role of “the teacher” is more expansive and offers more freedom - whilst adding more obligations. Here the role of the teacher is as professional and academic.
What is a stakeholder? One might think of a person holding a wooden stake, like the kind driven through the hearts of vampires in folklore. But the word stakeholder refers to a person who has an interest or concern in the organization at hand. So, in terms of education, a stakeholder is someone who has a vested interest in the success and welfare of a school or education system. This includes all parties that are directly affected by the success or failure of an educational system, as well as those indirectly affected.
Examples of Stakeholders in Education
Let's take a moment to brainstorm who some of these stakeholders may be. School board members, administrators, and teachers immediately come to mind. They each want their work to have a positive impact on children, and their jobs are directly affected by the success of the school system. Parents desire a successful education system for their children, while the students themselves have an interest in receiving a good education. It's also easy to imagine the influence the education system has on government officials, like city councilors and state representatives, as voters may base their decisions on the way such officials support the school system.
In fact, the community as a whole is a stakeholder in its education system. This is because local schools educate future employees, business owners, and community leaders. A solid education program builds a stronger community by better preparing its students to be successful community members.
Since all members of a community are stakeholders in its education system, you may be wondering how each individual stakeholder is important. Every different stakeholder plays a different, significant role in support of the education system. Let's explore those roles.
The Roles of Various Stakeholders
Let's use an example to illustrate how different stakeholders in education interact for the benefit of a school system. Say that the local school board wants to foster a greater interest in science and technology among students in the school district. The board passes a resolution requesting that each school in the district develop a program that will meet this goal, and along with the administration, works to raise funds for such programs. How do the other stakeholders fit into this goal?
