Abstract: The interest in using management science models for higher education manpower planning in recent years has led to the application of Markov chains, networks, goal programming, and other familiar modeling techniques. Goal programming appears intuitively appealing because educational objectives often involve satisficing rather than optimizing. It must be assumed that the purpose of the Walters, Mangold, Haran paper (Walters, A., J. Mangold, E. G. P. Haran. 1976. A comprehensive planning model for long-range academic strategies. Management Sci. 22 (7) 727-738.) was not simply to demonstrate that goal programming is of interest for this planning problem, since Schroeder (Schroeder, R. G. 1974. Resource planning in university management by goal programming. Oper. Res. 22 (July-August) 700-710.) published such a demonstration two years previously.
