The American Council on Education reported recently that “the higher education community must continue to address the issues of losses in participation at all levels for blacks; the segregation of Hispanics; the retention and graduation of minority students, both undergraduate and graduate; the lack of growth for minorities in faculty and staff ranks.” The College Board reports …

The Department Chair In The 1990s: Confessions, Concerns Convictions, Edward J. Pappas

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the evolving role of the academic department chair in the face of challenges anticipated for the 1990s.

Key priorities include faculty recruitment and retention, productivity, resource acquisition, and image-building to secure institutional support. Additional concerns addressed are governance, affirmative action, and student recruitment, particularly as competition for enrollments intensifies. Practical realities discussed include managing grievances, navigating administrative turnover, and addressing day-to-day operational issues, while stressing the importance of …

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article addresses the profound changes in communication that may compel departments to restructure in order to remain relevant.

The discussion highlights two illustrative developments: the rise of telecommuting and its interpersonal consequences, and international debates over sovereignty and information flow spurred by new media. These examples underscore the complex personal, organizational, and geopolitical issues tied to technological advances. The article contends that effective disciplinary response requires both reconceptualization, including integration …
