In Favor Of Accreditation, Ed Mullins

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article argues that specialized accreditation for journalism and mass communication programs remains a vital mechanism of evaluation and accountability in United States higher education. Rooted in state authority and professional self policing, accreditation is presented as consumer protection that elevates teaching, research, and service standards. The discussion counters assertions that accreditation enforces conformity by documenting the diversity of accredited units in size, mission, and curricular emphasis, while highlighting Standard Three that links professional training with liberal education. Pragmatic benefits are surveyed, including enhanced resource leverage, external funding eligibility, structured program review, and prestige within competitive environments. Cost and effort …

College Students' Perceptions Of Parental Sexuality, Nancy L. Janisz Jan 1991

College Students' Perceptions Of Parental Sexuality, Nancy L. Janisz

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Pocs and Godow (1977) published research results indicating that college students experienced difficulty in considering their parents as sexual beings. The results of the present study were based on responses of 330 college students to a questionnaire authored by the examiner. Results were compared to Pocs and Godow's results, and research data from Kinsey (1948, 1953) and Hunt (1972), which presented the reported frequencies of sexual activities of the parent-aged population. The comparisons suggest that although estimates of the subjects in the current study were higher in all areas than in the Pocs and Godow data, today's college students still …

A Review Of The Public Relations Courses Offered In Departments Of Colleges And Universities, Bonita Dostal Neff Oct 1990

A Review Of The Public Relations Courses Offered In Departments Of Colleges And Universities, Bonita Dostal Neff

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article reviews United States university catalogs to map public relations curriculum across academic disciplines. Content analysis identifies communication departments as the principal locus of course offerings, outpacing journalism, business, mass communication, and interdisciplinary units. Although journalism and mass communication once were presumed dominant, findings reveal substantial growth within liberal arts based communication programs, including robust five course sequences that meet professional accreditation guidelines. The study also shows that most programs are administratively situated in liberal arts colleges rather than journalism schools, challenging prevailing assumptions in national commission reports. By comparing departmental titles, administrative homes, and the prevalence of internship …

A Study Of Selected Faculty Handbooks: Policies On Promotion, Tenure, And Research, William W. Neher Oct 1990

A Study Of Selected Faculty Handbooks: Policies On Promotion, Tenure, And Research, William W. Neher

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article analyzes faculty handbooks from United States liberal arts colleges to illuminate how academic governance codifies promotion and tenure standards. Through systematic content analysis, the study maps language governing academic freedom, probationary service, degree expectations, and research productivity, comparing these provisions with AAUP statements. Results show pronounced diversity. Teaching effectiveness consistently holds primacy, while scholarship is flexibly defined to include creative activity, consulting, and curricular innovation. Many institutions adopt religious or financial clauses, impose tenure quotas, or offer renewable multi year contracts, thereby modifying the classic permanence model. Degree requirements range from earned doctorate to appropriate terminal credential, and …
