Table 14.1
Graduate students are studying their university's organizational culture. Tanya is examining the extent to which the university makes it easy for students to register for classes and for professors to get clerical support for their classes. Tia has focused on the university's concern about liability and how much it allows professors to experiment with new teaching methods, conduct experiments in classes, etc. Bill has found that there is little expectation that faculty will make independent decisions. Almost everything has to pass through a committee. Students feel like mushrooms; they are kept in the dark and dumped on. As a consequence, faculty members do their own thing and go home. Alumni giving is minimal since most graduates are happy to escape. There is little social consciousness on campus.
