Conflict, Congruence, and Generic University Goals.

Tuckman, Howard P.; Chang, Cyril F.

Journal of Higher Education, v59 n6 p612-33 Nov-Dec 1988

A definition of "generic goal" is introduced, and the major generic goals of the principal participants in the higher education process are discussed. Sources of goal differences observed among participants are explored and a number of observations are offered as to when goals will coincide and when they will conflict. (Author/MLW)
