Communication In The Socialization Of The Academic Department Chairperson, Christopher H. Spicer, Ann Q. Staton-Spicer

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the role of communication in the socialization of new academic department chairs. While most chairs are appointed with little or no administrative training, they must quickly adapt to complex responsibilities involving leadership without extensive authority. Using intensive interviews with four newly appointed chairs, the study identifies a typology of twenty-one communication dimensions across four functional categories: informative, integrative, regulative, and innovative. These include activities such as information seeking and giving, relationship building, exercising authority, and initiating change. Findings show that communication is central to role-making as chairs negotiate expectations, establish credibility, and adapt prior faculty experience to …

Academic Departments: Breaking The Habit Of Isolation, Jon Whitmore

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article critiques the tendency of academic departments to become isolated and protective of their disciplinary boundaries, limiting opportunities for intellectual growth and collaboration. While departments provide essential structure and identity within higher education, they can also foster parochialism, territorialism, and insularity. The discussion highlights theatre as an inherently interdisciplinary field that naturally connects with literature, music, anthropology, cultural studies, and technology, making it well-suited for cross-departmental partnerships. Examples include collaborations with engineering and architecture on computer-aided design, with visual artists and composers on performance art, and with modern languages and cultural studies scholars as dramaturgs. The article argues that …

Self-Esteem Level, Workload Factors And Selected Demographic Variables In Nurse Faculty, E. Marie Visscher

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This study was designed to examine the relationship among self-esteem levels, workload factors, and selected demographic variables of nurse educators. Different types of public nurse education programs in Florida were used. Data were obtained through a mailed questionnaire incorporating the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Hudson Index of Self-Esteem, workload and demographic items. Questionnaires were returned by 384 respondents of the 698 mailed for a 55% return rate.

High self-esteem scores for faculty from all types of nursing programs were found with both the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale(~= 35) and Hudson Index of Self-Esteem(~= 19). Statistically significant differences were determined between self-esteem …

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article traces the evolution of the Department of Speech Communication at Northern Illinois University into Communication Studies and its proposed development into a School of Communication. It examines how the department maintained a liberal arts tradition while adapting to new technologies, curricular demands, and disciplinary specialization. The discussion reviews changes in degree emphases, including the expansion of radio-television-film, the addition of organizational and corporate communication, and the continued role of rhetorical studies as a curricular foundation. Faculty organization by research interest, cross-teaching assignments, and collaborative governance are highlighted as strategies for preserving breadth and balance. The proposed merger with …

A Small Rhetoric Of Retrenchment: A New Ma In Telecommunications, Frank W. Oglesbee

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article describes the development of a Master of Arts program in Telecommunications at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, designed during a period of retrenchment and shifting institutional priorities. The program emerged from challenges including rising undergraduate enrollments, limited faculty resources, and the collapse of a previous interdisciplinary master’s degree in public visual communication. Faculty and administrators framed the proposal rhetorically to emphasize career preparation in management and policy rather than production, aligning with institutional goals of “smaller but better” programming. A distinctive summer-through-summer schedule was introduced to attract non-traditional students with professional experience seeking to complete a degree in one …
