Abstract
A survey of student and faculty attitudes and behavior at Columbia University following widespread demonstrations and disorders in the Spring of 1968 found that students and faculty divided in roughly equal proportions on the major issues. Only a small minority favored the sit-in tactics of the demonstrators, but majorities favored some of their major stated goals. Police action that ended the sit-ins slightly increased acceptance of the demonstrators' tactics, but did not change attitudes on issues very much. Attitudes toward the crisis were strongly related to over-all satisfaction with the University and to attitudes toward the ghetto and the Vietnam war. The author is Director of the Bureau of Applied Social Research at Columbia University. This survey was made possible by the support of the Russell Sage Foundation.
