Liberal Arts Education And The Communication Arts And Sciences Discipline, Philip Emmert Aug 1985

Liberal Arts Education And The Communication Arts And Sciences Discipline, Philip Emmert

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This essay examines the relationship between the communication arts and sciences and the goals of liberal arts education, arguing that the discipline’s distinct contribution lies in its focus on the spoken word and the cognitive and behavioral changes that accompany its study. The author reviews the historical roots of American liberal arts education and notes its longstanding orientation toward preparing students to function effectively within their environments. He contends that contemporary discussions often overlook this practical heritage. Responding to earlier essays in the collection, the author argues that while theatre, mass communication, communication disorders, and speech communication each offer persuasive …

In Defense Of Mass Communication As A Liberal Art, Robert K. Tiemens Aug 1985

In Defense Of Mass Communication As A Liberal Art, Robert K. Tiemens

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This essay defends mass communication as a legitimate component of the liberal arts and responds to criticisms both from outside and within the communication discipline. The author argues that mass communication courses address fundamental questions about the social, political, and cultural influence of media and therefore extend far beyond technical training. The discussion emphasizes that liberal education requires understanding how mediated symbols shape public life and contends that studying the effects, practices, and history of broadcasting aligns directly with liberal arts aims. The essay also notes that accrediting standards already require a strong ratio of liberal arts coursework for mass …

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the interdependence of colleges and K 12 schools and argues that meaningful educational reform requires sustained collaboration across levels. It begins by noting the renewed national concern over elementary and secondary education following prominent reports and describes the persistent attitudinal barriers that hinder cooperation, including declining public regard for teaching and a pervasive tendency within universities to devalue K 12 work. The article then outlines a series of actions for speech communication professionals, emphasizing strengthened affiliations with schools, improved teacher preparation, expanded research on instructional communication, and active guidance of institutional responses to national educational critiques. Detailed …

Poke The Bottom Of The Fire, John Lee Jellicorse Apr 1985

Poke The Bottom Of The Fire, John Lee Jellicorse

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the administrative challenges created by the increasingly narrow and peripheral preparation of some doctoral and MFA graduates in communication. It argues that many candidates lack grounding in core disciplinary history, theory, and pedagogy, showing strong specialization without awareness of the field’s breadth or traditions. The discussion describes how this trend complicates hiring, weakens disciplinary coherence, and leads to duplication of communication courses when such graduates secure appointments outside communication units. These developments strain curricula, undermine departmental identity, and reinforce claims that communication lacks a substantive disciplinary core. The article urges graduate programs to strengthen breadth, disciplinary interdependence, …

Practical Problems Facing Communication Administrators, Thelma D. Curl Apr 1985

Practical Problems Facing Communication Administrators, Thelma D. Curl

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article outlines two central challenges confronting communication administrators in financially constrained, state supported institutions. The first problem is the impact of budget reductions on staffing, curriculum, and faculty development. Shrinking appropriations and limited external resources have led to hiring freezes, increased class sizes, teaching overloads, and reliance on part time instructors. These conditions weaken faculty morale, complicate promotion and tenure processes, reduce opportunities for research and travel, and curtail scholarships, cultural programming, and curricular innovation. Fiscal pressures further force departments to rely on FTE driven decisions that may jeopardize upper level instruction and student retention. The second problem concerns …
