Abstract

The university is viewed as a political system with interlocking and competing constituencies. Several variables were investigated in order to examine the relative importance of different bases for determining allegiances and divisions within the university. Role group (student, faculty, and administration) and ideology emerged as the two major predictors of the three dependent domains: attitudes toward campus issues, self-images, and the types of people respected most. Age, field, and activism were predictive of attitudes toward campus issues but were of less importance in predicting the other two domains. The different tasks within the university, the varied aspirations for its development, and the differentials in power and position within the system are represented by the individual's role group membership. Ideology extends beyond specialized political concerns, exerting a pervasive influence throughout many areas of the individual's life.
