What Do Administrators Know About Their Institutions?
Astin, Alexander W.; Christian, C. E.
Journal of Higher Education, 48, 4, 389-400, Jul/Aug 77
As part of a larger five-year analysis of the behavioral impact of modern management procedures on private liberal arts colleges, data were collected from administrators at 22 institutions of various enrollment size, admissions selectivity, and religious affiliation. With the exception of student dropout rates, most administrators are reasonably accurate about institutional facts, but some are seriously inaccurate. (Editor/LBH)
