✦ Synopsis

The relationship between student types and students' perceptions and evaluations of the university has been infrequently researched, particularly among the post-activist student generation. Using a random sample of 460 Southern Illinois University-Carbondale (SIU-C) students surveyed in 1973, the relationship between students' academic orientations and six academically-related sets of variables was investigated:

(1) the students' adjectival descriptions of the university, (2) the students' evaluations of university goal implementation, (3) the students' attitudes about academic governance, (4) the students' evaluations of the academic environment, (5) the students' feelings of academic alienation, and (6) the students' preferences concerning academic reform. The results of this research indicate that students' self-descriptions on the Clark-Trow typology of academic orientations are moderately associated with their perceptions and evaluations of the university, with the nonconformist student type emerging as the most distinct academic orientation.
