Abstract: This study was with the view of providing information on goals integration that could mitigate the incidence of crises in the universities. It delineated the individual goals of the stakeholders and the institutional goals; also examined the relationship between the individual goals of the stakeholders and goals of public universities in Osun State. The study adopted a correlational survey design. The population comprised students, academic staff members, non-teaching staff members and parents of public university in Osun State. Data collected were analysed using frequency count, percentages, graph and Spearman’s rank order correlation statistic. From the findings, the institutional goals were intellectual development, research among others. The individual goals of the stakeholders of the public universities in Osun State were earning for livelihood, production of independent minded citizens among others. The study showed that there was a moderate correlation between undergraduate education (university goal) and impartation of values into students (individual staff goal), (rs = 0.429**, n = 216, p 0.264, so the null hypothesis was rejected. There was also a moderate correlation between student scholarship and scientific research (university goal) and scholarship (individual student goal), (rs= 0.444**, n=2023, p 0.264, so the null hypothesis was rejected. The study concluded that aligning personal goals of the stakeholders with the goal of universities through creation of interactive atmosphere between stakeholders and the university management and creating peaceful environment for workers and students would boost industrial peace in universities.
