Application Of Ground Penetrating Radar To The Detection Of Subsurface Cavities, Gary L. Kuhns
Application Of Ground Penetrating Radar To The Detection Of Subsurface Cavities, Gary L. Kuhns
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) identifies subsurface features by distinguishing materials with different dielectric constants and electrical conductivities. Subsurface cavities can, therefore, be detected by the variation in their electrical properties from the electrical properties of the surrounding material. To test the cavity detection ability of GPR, subsurface cavities of varying size, shape and content were modeled. Radar response to the cavity models was found to be affected by the composition of the surrounding soil material, the depth of the groundwater table, and the radar signal frequency. Based on knowledge gained from the cavity modeling study, a natural subsurface cavity was …
Toward A Definition Of The Field: Local Constraints And National Coherence, E. Culpepper Clark
Toward A Definition Of The Field: Local Constraints And National Coherence, E. Culpepper Clark
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
Reflecting on communication studies at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, this article questions whether a national field definition would meaningfully resolve local problems of identity, curriculum, and administrative recognition. It describes a department combining speech communication, mass communication, and linguistics, where student demand and public perception have made mass communication more visible than speech. The article considers possible unifying labels, including rhetoric and public communication, while noting practical limits created by professional tracks, degree requirements, community needs, and institutional expectations. It argues that departments will continue to be judged by what they do rather than by field labels, and …
Communication Studies At The University Of Massachusetts, Jay Savereid
Communication Studies At The University Of Massachusetts, Jay Savereid
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
Focused on the University of Massachusetts Amherst, this case study recounts how a long range planning process initially recommended terminating the Department of Communication Studies as an independent unit. The account traces the department’s movement from being targeted for dissolution to being removed from later lists of heavily affected majors, while noting continued uncertainty about administrative reasoning. It identifies vulnerabilities involving disciplinary misunderstanding, uneven fit within social sciences, nonpublishing faculty, resource scarcity, high undergraduate demand, and overcrowded courses. The department defended itself by arguing for intellectual coherence, teaching and research quality, student demand, and the distinctiveness of mass communication from …

The bibliography serves as a resource for administrators, counselors, faculty, and policy makers seeking research, legal guidance, and practical …
Three Communication Responsibilities Concerning Sexual Harassment, Bonnie Wilson Buzza
Three Communication Responsibilities Concerning Sexual Harassment, Bonnie Wilson Buzza
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
Framing sexual harassment as an issue of communication ethics and responsibility, this article argues that speech communication professionals should help create informed, sensitive, and practical discussion about harassment on campus. It distinguishes unwanted harassment from consensual attention, notes the role of power in many incidents, and explains that legal definitions do not fully resolve ethical responsibilities. The article identifies three communication responsibilities: discussing the issue honestly and supportively, telling a harasser directly when conduct is unwelcome, and encouraging potential harassers to consider audience, feedback, intent, and effect before speaking or acting. It emphasizes self esteem, assertiveness, institutional policy, grievance procedures, …

An Overview Of The Canadian Communication And Journalism Scene, Thomas L. Mcphail, Rlchelle Larsen
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
Surveying communication and journalism education in Canada, this article reviews the uneven development of university programs and the continuing tension between professional training and liberal arts preparation. It identifies established and emerging programs across several provinces, noting stronger development in some regions and slower institutional growth in others. The discussion gives particular attention to the long process that led to the creation of a graduate communication studies program at the University of Calgary, including earlier proposals, media industry support, curricular debates, and arguments for interdisciplinary preparation. The article situates communication education within broader social, political, economic, legal, and cultural changes …
Toward A Definition Of The Field: Local Constraints And National Coherence, Dwight Freshley
Toward A Definition Of The Field: Local Constraints And National Coherence, Dwight Freshley
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
Using the University of Georgia as an institutional case, this article examines how local departmental structures complicate national efforts to define speech communication as a coherent academic field. It compares broad disciplinary definitions from the Speech Communication Association with the narrower curricular and administrative realities of one department, where communication related areas are dispersed across multiple colleges and schools. The article discusses curriculum revisions, public and interpersonal communication as a departmental core, relations with theatre, journalism, management, and speech pathology, and administrative issues involving promotion review, system committees, service courses, and disciplinary visibility. It contributes to communication administration by showing …
Toward A Definition Of The Field: Local Constraints And National Coherence, John L. Sullivan
Toward A Definition Of The Field: Local Constraints And National Coherence, John L. Sullivan
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
Focused on the University of Virginia, this article examines how local institutional expectations can shape communication programs more strongly than national disciplinary definitions. It describes ACA’s regional efforts to identify common goals, methods, and subject matter in the field, then uses Virginia’s movement from speech and drama to rhetoric and communication studies as a case of program adaptation. The article argues that attempts to mirror the full field weakened coherence, while a focused humanistic curriculum in public discourse better matched institutional priorities and improved credibility. It also emphasizes scholarship, external review, naming, faculty hiring, and relations with the Speech Communication …
Toward A Definition Of Communication: Speech Communication In The Context Of The Field Of Communication, Theodore Clevenger Jr.
Toward A Definition Of Communication: Speech Communication In The Context Of The Field Of Communication, Theodore Clevenger Jr.
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
Reconsidering earlier attempts to define communication, this article argues that communication and speech communication are better understood as fields of study than as unified disciplines with a single core. It uses a Wittgensteinian model of overlapping strands to explain how diverse specialties such as rhetoric, television production, phonetics, advertising, organizational communication, nonverbal communication, and oral interpretation can belong to the same field without sharing one common element. The article rejects narrow definitions that would exclude legitimate areas of inquiry and instead proposes identifying enduring questions that connect speech communication specialties. It contributes to field definition by framing coherence as a …

It compares salaries by rank, teaching experience, department type, and geographic region, with departments grouped as broadcasting, communication, journalism, mass media, and speech. The article finds variation across department types and regions, while noting that radio, television, and film salaries generally lag behind broader faculty salary averages reported for other disciplines. Tables provide detailed salary comparisons by rank, experience, department, and region. The article contributes to communication administration by offering benchmark data …
A Faculty Perspective On Academic Employment Opportunities, Bruce E. Gronbeck
A Faculty Perspective On Academic Employment Opportunities, Bruce E. Gronbeck
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
Written as a reflective assessment of academic employment prospects, this article considers job opportunities for communication graduates in elementary, secondary, and higher education. It identifies positive indicators in school settings, including certification, basic skills mandates, communication curriculum labels, and continuing attention to speaking and listening. For higher education, it points to demand in business, professional, organizational, broadcasting, film, mass communication, and renewed rhetorical studies, while also noting enrollment decline, budget pressure, and possible departmental vulnerability. The article cautions departments against overcommitting permanent resources during periods of high demand and urges coordinated work across educational levels to sustain communication education and …

An Analysis Of Degree-Granting Institutions And Number Of Articles Published By Their Graduates, Don W. Stacks, Mark L. Hickson Iii
An Analysis Of Degree-Granting Institutions And Number Of Articles Published By Their Graduates, Don W. Stacks, Mark L. Hickson Iii
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
Using publication data from major speech communication journals, this article examines institutional prestige by tracing where published authors earned their highest degrees. Rather than ranking departments by current faculty output, the study credits articles to the institutions granting authors’ degrees, arguing that graduate productivity offers another indicator of program influence. The analysis reports patterns by degree level, departmental affiliation, and degree granting institution, then compares the resulting rankings with earlier studies based on departmental productivity and editorial board membership. The article identifies broad overlap among several ranking approaches while cautioning that publication counts do not measure article quality and may …
