Arranged according to the original order imposed by the collector of the papers.

During the late 1960s a number of factors lead to significant institutional reevaluation of student rights and student participation in decision making on the University of Wisconsin campus. At the same time (1967 - 1975), Philip G. Altbach held an associate professorship in the Department of Educational Policy Studies and conducted a seminar (Educational Policy Studies 638) on relevant university policies. Much of the work his students returned over those years was related to the changing relationship of students to university decision making and the crisis presented by intensified student activism in that period. The papers in this collection were selected by Altbach to represent the reflections of his students on the educational environment of the University of Wisconsin and at other institutions around the state.
