Abstract

The modern university reflects many of the tensions and stresses of the wider society of which it is a part. The conditions generating conflict are related to the ambiguity and muliplicity of academic goals. Within the context of a political model of the university, various strategic and tactical methods for dealing with conflict between students, faculty and administrators are considered. Methods of control include the trengthening of information networks, increased participation of all academic constituencies in policy-making processes, the development of new forms of academic organization, and a heightened leadership role of the university president.
