Beyond Baldridge: Extending the Political Model of Higher Education Organization and Governance

Abstract

This article presents a case study of organizational decision making in higher education through an analysis of the contest over affirmative action at the University of California. It presents an overview of the development of the prevailing model of the politics of higher education, J. Victor Baldridge’s interest articulation framework, and discusses the evolution of the study of the politics of higher education organizations. The findings from this case suggest that contemporary models for understanding the political dynamics of postsecondary governance and decision making will be more effective if they extend the interest-articulation framework to include positive theories of institutions and State theoretical perspectives.
