Strategies For Seeking Employment In The Small College, Sandra Madsen

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article analyzes the conditions shaping faculty hiring in small colleges and identifies three primary variables that shape employment decisions: academic credentials, commitment to teaching, and collegiality. Drawing on broader trends in the academic labor market, the discussion notes that an expanded supply of highly trained candidates allows small institutions to recruit applicants with terminal degrees and records of scholarly engagement. At the same time, the argument emphasizes that small colleges value breadth of preparation and the capacity to teach foundational communication courses such as interpersonal communication and public speaking with theoretical rigor and pedagogical sophistication. The analysis criticizes graduate …

A Dual Degree Masters Program, Alvin A. Goldberg, Katharine D. Vail, Donald Novak

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article describes the development and structure of a dual degree program in speech communication and social work at the University of Denver. The program enables students to complete the MA in speech communication and the MSW concurrently by integrating coursework, practicum requirements, and research experiences from both fields. Although the two disciplines remain distinct, the authors argue that they complement one another conceptually and professionally. Communication theory offers social work students broader frameworks for understanding interpersonal, group, and organizational processes, while social work provides communication students with applied perspectives on human behavior and intervention contexts. The program reduces total …

Chairman Burnout And Productivity: An Inverse Relationship, Robert N. Bostrom

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Chairperson burnout is examined as a problem created by role ambiguity, high administrative expectations, limited authority, and reduced access to rewarding faculty activities. The article describes the academic chairperson as positioned between faculty and administration, expected to manage faculty concerns, departmental coordination, research support, instruction, records, personnel, and institutional paperwork without the full power often needed to enforce decisions. It connects these conditions to stress, declining morale, and reduced administrative effectiveness. The article also considers whether continued research productivity may help chairpersons preserve a faculty identity and resist burnout. By linking administrative strain to productivity, role conflict, and professional recognition, …
