摘要：Despite an ideological framework of rationality and fairness, decisions of a college committee on student petitions are found to favour certain categories of petitioners, and certain types of argument. The patterns of decision-making are analysed within a theoretical framework. The greatest difficulties in making decisions occur when compromise must be achieved between conflicting values about education. The present study suggests that different notions of equity are involved. Tendencies to regularize equity in the name of rationality and fairness may actually reduce responsiveness of the petition process both to the student needs for which it was established, and the changing flux of political com- promise between different educational values in the college.
