Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ostracizing of the department with all Republican professors shows pressure for norm conformity, as the rest of the university's professors are Democrats and likely have norms and values that align with the Democratic party. The Republicans in one department are not conforming to this norm, thus leading to their ostracization.
