Scholarship Reconsidered: Role Definition And Its Impact On The Faculty, Gary T. Hunt
Scholarship Reconsidered: Role Definition And Its Impact On The Faculty, Gary T. Hunt
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article addresses issues concerning the role of faculty members in U.S. universities and colleges. With external pressures coming from state legislators and accrediting bodies, all of which are aimed at the role of the individual faculty member, many both on the inside and the outside of the university are expressing opinions about the work life of the faculty member. In fact, one might even be so bold as to suggest that everything we have traditionally accepted about scholarship is now up for grabs. This unstable environment has heaped added pressure upon the individual faculty member, who may well be …
Scholarship Reconsidered: The Changing Reward System, Kenneth E. Andersen
Scholarship Reconsidered: The Changing Reward System, Kenneth E. Andersen
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article proposes a paradigm shift in the reward system within the U.S. higher education. The thesis of the paper is that changing the reward system to respond to the current criticism of higher education being voiced in the larger society and manifest in legislative actions in reducing funds available to higher education and efforts to monitor or control certain aspects of the higher education process--accountability, outcome measures, workload studies, hours of classroom contact--to a degree that may be perceived as being micromanagement requires a paradigm shift by those who are within the academy. Typically one would think of a …
Scholarship Reconsidered: A Reflection, Ronald L. Applbaum
Scholarship Reconsidered: A Reflection, Ronald L. Applbaum
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article reflects on the book Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate, by Ernest Boyer. Scholarship Reconsidered was an attempt by Boyer to redefine the role of the professoriate in terms of the concept of scholarship as perceived and enacted within the academy. The purpose of the special report was to provide a clearer meaning of scholarship within the academy itself. He recognized that the mission of U.S. higher education had changed dramatically over the past four decades. And, yet, the expectations of the professoriate held by the members within the academy, that is, faculty and administrators, had not always …
Departmental Textbook Publishing For The Introductory Communication Course: Pedagogical Boon Or Exploitation?, Craig Newburger, Robert Smith, Linda Pledger
Departmental Textbook Publishing For The Introductory Communication Course: Pedagogical Boon Or Exploitation?, Craig Newburger, Robert Smith, Linda Pledger
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article details the benefits and liabilities associated with departmental introductory communication course (ICC) textbook publishing as they are related to both the national publishing house and local commercial printer options. A number of national textbook publishers are actively involved in the production and marketing of locally authored campus-specific ICC texts and related workbooks. Such publishers offer national exposure through their textbook marketing programs and, correspondingly, absorb publicity and other-campus marketing costs. Meanwhile, a departmental desktop publishing software can be used to write, edit, design and present a camera-ready ICC text manuscript to a local commercial printer. The use of …
Differences Between Women Administrators And Faculty, Tracy A. Wahl, Donna R. Vocate
Differences Between Women Administrators And Faculty, Tracy A. Wahl, Donna R. Vocate
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article investigates the differences between women administrators and faculty at the Colorado University. Of the three groups, the faculty scored closest to an androgynous rating, the current administrators more masculine, and the former administrators the most masculine. It is important to remember that definitions of masculinity and femininity are generated by the respondent's self-perception of traits consonant with sex-role stereotypes and not by conformity to any generalized principle of masculinity or femininity. Thus, administrators perceived themselves as fitting best with stereotypical assumptions of masculine qualities, while faculty perceived themselves to fit best with androgynous characteristics.
Public Relations Internships: Considerations For A Successful Program, H. W. Fulmer
Public Relations Internships: Considerations For A Successful Program, H. W. Fulmer
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article explores the pre-graduation internship as a vital link between public relations classes and the public relations profession. Internship is a vital and necessary part of the public relations degree program. It has three major areas: academic preparation, academic structure and administrative procedures. The timing for an internship is important. A student without some basic classroom knowledge of public relations is not likely to receive the fullest benefits from his or her internship. The prospective intern should have completed a substantial part of two related areas of study prior to the internship. The success of an internship program is …

A Tao Perspective On The Rank And Tenure Process, Lyall Crawford
A Tao Perspective On The Rank And Tenure Process, Lyall Crawford
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article explores certain features of the rank and tenure review process in the field of education from a Taoist perspective. There is much that can be learned from philosophical Taoism regarding rank and tenure review. Even though this Chinese philosophy seems incompatible with this ritual of academic life, it has been argued that certain concepts of Taoism can complement the personal experience of this evaluation process so that one is strengthened rather than weakened; that as an intrapersonal frame of reference, philosophical Taoism may offer a potential point of sanity. Certain texts of philosophical Taoism have been used to …
Speech Communication At Iowa State University: A History Of Broken Promises And Shifting Leadership, Claudia L. Hale, Mark V. Redmond
Speech Communication At Iowa State University: A History Of Broken Promises And Shifting Leadership, Claudia L. Hale, Mark V. Redmond
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article attempts to offer a constructive analysis of pressures applied to the Department of Speech Communication at Iowa State University and the circumstances which have resulted in the changes that have occurred, as of September 1995. The department has been in a state of instability and insecurity for more than 20 years. There has long been a sense of foreboding over the department, probably since it began to expand its curriculum beyond simply offering basic public speaking. In the fall of 1986, the department was a multi-focus department, composed of four separate interest areas, including speech communication, theater, telecommunicative …
