Abstract

Many explanations have been offered in an attempt to describe the true cause of campus unrest. Most of these reflect the needs of the examiner. It is safe to assert however that the tension and turmoil on our 'campuses evolve from several deficiencies. The subject of this thesis addresses itself to one of those weaknesses: A lack of communication between the Governor of the State of New Mexico and the faculty of the University of New Mexico.

A series of meetings was established to provide an opportunity for a group of faculty members (different each session) to discuss problems with the Governor. Several instruments were utilized to measure the effect the meeting had on both the faculty participants and the governor. The data were then analyzed and tested statistically. Conclusions were made on the basis of the results of the analyses and statistical tests.

The most significant conclusion of the study was that a channel of communication between the Governor and the faculty could be created and would assist in increasing the faculty's opinion of the Governor.
