Views concerning the participation of nontenure-track faculty in campus governance were surveyed at Towson State University (Maryland). In spring 1985, a questionnaire was sent to all 425 full-time faculty members at the university, and 298 responses were obtained. Only 3% of nontenure-track faculty responded to the questionnaire, compared to 70% of tenured and tenure-track faculty. The sample was overrepresented by both tenure-track faculty and those in the upper ranks of professor and associate professor, and underrepresented by those with the fewest years of service at the university. The questionnaire focused on the level of governance at which participation might occur, the nature of participation, and whether or not nontenure-track faculty should be permitted or expected to participate. There was stronger agreement that nontenure-track faculty should be expected and/or permitted to participate in governance at the departmental level than at the university senate level, where attitudes were more polarized. Attitudes by rank, age, college, and other variables were assessed. (SW)
