What Is Political about Bureaucratic-Collegial Decision-Making?

Childers, Marie E.

Review of Higher Education, v5 n1 p25-45 Fall 1981

A fundamental assumption that bureaucratic, collegial, and political models of administration are independent and distinct is challenged, and process and structure within higher education institutions are differentiated as they describe role and power relationships and lines of authority. Survey results are cited as evidence and implications are discussed. (MSE)
