Power in University Budgeting: A Replication and Extension
研究美国一所大型州立大学两个校区的预算分配，发现院系权力和招生人数影响预算，而学科范式发展水平也通过影响科研经费间接起作用；资源充裕的校区更依赖招生而非权力。

This study examines the determinants of power and budget allocations on two campuses of a large, state university system. As in previous studies, faculty positions and budget allocations were a function of student enrollment and departmental power, and departmental power was related to the amount of a department's grant and contract funds as well as enrollment. An additional variable in this study, the level of paradigm development characterizing the department's scientific field, was found to predict the levels of grant and contract funds obtained as well as to help explain budget allocations. In a comparison of resource allocation on the two campuses, it was found that for the campus that faced less scarcity of resources, enrollment was more highly related and departmental power less strongly related to allocations.
