Democracy and the Governing of the University

Abstract: This article argues that although the case for popular participation in university government is not the same as the case for participation in a democratic state, some of the principles and structures of representative democracy can contribute to furthering the traditional purposes of the uni versity. The institution of the university council or senate is examined, and the role of students in decisions on academic matters is discussed. Finally, the growing external pressures on the university and the reluctance of students and faculty to participate in university politics are cited as factors affect ing the prospects of university governance.

Collective Bargaining on Campus.

Abstract: Collective bargaining, a relatively recent development in higher education, has aroused considerable interest among the members of the academic community. Recent developments in higher education have encouraged their interest: a depressed job market; serious institutional financial difficulties; state centralization and loss of campus autonomy; legislative supervision of faculty working conditions; and lack of faculty governance at emerging state liberal arts colleges. This revied of recent literature includes discussion of these developments, the impact of collective bargaining on the academic community, professional rights and duties of faculty, and legal problems of collective bargaining. An annotated bibliography of 55 documents concludes the study.

The Challenge to American Corporate Investment in Indonesia

Abstract: T he purpose of this study is to analyze the investment climate in Indonesia. Under consideration here are such important factors as the attitude of the present leadership under General Suharto; the legacy of the Sukarno regime with which he and his cabinet must deal; the obstacles, limitations, and advantages for foreign investment, including the legal aspects of investment and economic development; and an analysis of the Investment Law of 1967, which clearly enumerates the conditions, incentives, restrictions, and safeguards for foreign investment. In compiling the data for this report I have become convinced that Indonesia is a country which will play an increasingly important role in the Pacific in years to come. The present leadership, unlike its predecessor, firmly believes in the necessity for economic growth and stabilization and the concomitant importance of encouraging foreign capital investment in Indonesia. There are currently enormous problems to be met in the task of developing Indonesia's potential, but it is my intent to demonstrate that the benefits far outweigh the costs and that in investing in Indonesia, American investors can both conduct profitable business ventures and help to further stabilize the vital area of Southeast Asia, politically and economically. With rational and understanding policies, investment and development in Indonesia should prove to be rapid and profitable. This will require patience, optimism and perseverance, but the results should certainly merit the time and energies spent. American and other foreign investors must keep in mind, however, that all developing nations are demanding operations of mutual benefit. A company

Conditional Decision-Making: An Alternative to the Committee Octopus.

Abstract: Two major values that frequently compete with one another in the debate about campus governance are participation in decision-making and efficiency in decision-making. Campus reformers have been arguing for maximum participation by students and faculty in making decisions that affect them. On the other hand, administrators and experienced faculty tend to argue that large numbers of people cannot effectively participate in large numbers of decisions unless they are willing to make this a full time activity. While the proponents of participation have pushed for town-meeting type governance at some small colleges, this alternative is clearly impractical at large institutions where reformers have urged representative unicameral faculty-student-administration governing bodies. Since these generally large bodies have been unable to consider fully the many issues of campus governance, the structure that has been used to accommodate the competing demands of participation and efficiency has typically become the committee system. The current trend toward greater participation on campus has resulted in a larger number of committees which deal with a wider
