Abstract
Results of a pilot study in the estimation of a university preference function are reported. Data were gathered from a sample of administrators at Stanford University and individual preference functions were derived for evaluating alternatives expressed in terms of a small set of primary planning variables. Each of these functions was tested for internal consistency and the ability to predict the individual’s response to new alternatives.
