| 520 | |a This paper applies Lewis Coser's theory of social conflict to an historical examination of community junior college/university relationships. This relationship has been marked by antagonism, jealousies, and general substantial conflict since the l920's--first, over the establishment of vocational programs in junior colleges, and second, over junior college efforts to obtain legislative endorsement and state support. Underlying the conflict were opposing views of the purpose of higher education: the development of intellectual power apart from society (rationalistic-academic) or the preparation of workers for society (utilitarian-democratic). The consequence of this conflict has been the mobilization and increased cohesion of the junior college advocates, the development of a junior college rhetoric, and finally the development of an identity for the community junior college based on the very characteristics of which university critics have been junior college and its graduates, universities remain skeptical of this younger institution's worth. For the community junior college, this skepticism may be a blessing in disguise. (BB) | ||
