Academic Theatre Administration, Jon Whitmore Oct 1986

Academic Theatre Administration, Jon Whitmore

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article delineates the essential competencies and preparatory pathways required for effective academic administration within theatre and related arts programs. Framing administration as a profession often entered by circumstance rather than intention, the discussion emphasizes leadership as a creative and managerial endeavor grounded in human relationships rather than bureaucratic control. The author identifies nine critical skills: leadership, motivation, conflict resolution, planning, legal literacy, financial management, bureaucratic navigation, problem-solving, and communication. Each is presented as a necessary attribute for sustaining academic programs in resource-limited environments. The paper further outlines avenues for developing these skills, including committee work, professional reading, engagement with …

So You Want To Be An Administrator? Be Prepared For Change, Richard W. Platt Oct 1986

So You Want To Be An Administrator? Be Prepared For Change, Richard W. Platt

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This reflective case study explores the dynamics of institutional and personal change through the author’s experience as a department and divisional chair at a small private liberal arts college. The narrative traces the evolution of administrative responsibility amid shifting institutional structures, financial constraints, and demographic transformation in higher education during the late twentieth century. The analysis highlights how external forces—such as economic pressures, federal funding fluctuations, and changing student populations—interact with internal developments in curriculum design, faculty composition, and organizational restructuring. Central to the argument is the necessity for adaptability: effective administration requires balancing planning and leadership within fluid systems …

A Program Of Faculty Development For Small College Career Satisfaction, Thomas W. Duncanson, Alberto Gonzalez Oct 1986

A Program Of Faculty Development For Small College Career Satisfaction, Thomas W. Duncanson, Alberto Gonzalez

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This paper proposes a model of faculty development designed to enhance career satisfaction and professional retention among small college teachers. Recognizing that such institutions often experience high faculty turnover and limited professional support, the authors argue that sustained faculty vitality depends on cultivating collegiality, autonomy, and scholarship. Collegiality is presented as a political and ethical mode of academic governance that requires shared purpose, participatory decision making, and ongoing reflection on the moral obligations of teaching. Autonomy is defined as disciplined self-direction rather than individualism, representing both personal growth and institutional benefit. Scholarship is examined as a balance between the reproduction …

Professionalism And Unionism In The Small Department, Lawrence W. Rosenfield Oct 1986

Professionalism And Unionism In The Small Department, Lawrence W. Rosenfield

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This essay investigates the relationship between academic professionalism and the rise of unionism, focusing on their implications for faculty life in small departments. The analysis situates the issue within the historical ideal of the university as a civic community governed by collegial virtue and shared scholarly purpose. The author argues that the decline of departmental self governance and the spread of corporate administrative models have eroded this republican vision, leaving faculty increasingly defined by economic rather than intellectual identity. In this context, unionism emerges as both a response to and a potential redefinition of professional engagement. The essay identifies two …

A Response To Achieving Professional Professions, Claude Mathis Oct 1986

A Response To Achieving Professional Professions, Claude Mathis

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This response essay engages with the preceding discussions on professionalism in small academic departments, particularly those by Duffy, Rosenfield, and Ryan. The author argues that professionalism is determined more by individual and institutional values than by departmental organization or discipline. The analysis commends Duffy’s perspective on thriving within merged departments, noting that collegial support and shared commitment matter more than structural autonomy. It also reflects on Rosenfield’s treatment of unionism, suggesting that while collective bargaining once represented liberation for faculty, it risks devolving into an excessive focus on wages and working conditions rather than educational quality. The essay praises Ryan’s …

Confronting The Problem Of Retention In The Theatre Program Of Limited Size, Margaret M. Swanson Oct 1986

Confronting The Problem Of Retention In The Theatre Program Of Limited Size, Margaret M. Swanson

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article investigates the persistent challenge of student retention in small theatre programs and presents an institutional case study from the University of Wisconsin–River Falls. The author analyzes how open admissions policies, small program size, and uneven academic preparation affect student persistence and departmental stability. Through three detailed student case studies, the discussion explores motivations for attrition, ranging from transfer to professional training to academic failure and disengagement. The analysis concludes that while program retention serves institutional needs, it is not always in the best interest of individual students. In response, the department adopted policies linking academic eligibility to participation, …

Maximizing Quality — Minimizing Costs, John E. Crawford Oct 1986

Maximizing Quality — Minimizing Costs, John E. Crawford

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article describes a large scale instructional model for delivering a rigorous hybrid communication course at Arizona State University while minimizing costs. Confronted with limited budgets and graduate teaching staff, the program adopted three key innovations: the use of undergraduate teaching assistants, contiguous scheduling of lecture and discussion sections, and a course specific textbook. Undergraduate assistants, recruited from high performing former students and trained through an apprenticeship course, facilitated small group activities and speech performances, improving instructional consistency and reducing staffing costs by approximately one hundred and fifty thousand dollars annually. The unified scheduling system allowed seamless transition between lectures …

Selling Communication To The Campus, William Demougeot

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article presents a set of promotional strategies to improve the institutional visibility and perceived legitimacy of communication departments, particularly in the context of declining enrollments and misconceptions about academic rigor. Based on initiatives implemented at North Texas State University, the discussion outlines several tactics for altering negative perceptions among students, faculty, and administrators. Public events such as Communication Awareness Week, faculty debates, and colloquia were used to display the field’s intellectual range and practical value. The department also developed targeted outreach through campus media, orientation materials, and collaborations with other academic units. Raising standards in basic courses, such as …

So You Want To Be An Administrator, Robert N. Bostrom Oct 1986

So You Want To Be An Administrator, Robert N. Bostrom

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This essay offers a balanced and candid reflection on the challenges and opportunities of academic administration during a period of economic constraint and institutional change. Framed around the dual themes of “good news” and “bad news,” the analysis situates administrative work within broader systemic shifts in higher education, including the transition from a growth economy to one of fiscal limitation, the persistence of adversarial faculty–administration relationships, and the increasing bureaucratization and unionization of academic life. Despite these impediments, the author identifies countervailing developments such as the growing recognition of communication’s central role in education, the expanding availability of professional development …
