An Exploration Of Some Problems Confronting Speech Communication Faculty, Sandra Manheimer
An Exploration Of Some Problems Confronting Speech Communication Faculty, Sandra Manheimer
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This essay examines three persistent problem areas faced by speech communication faculty at small colleges that result from limited institutional resources. The analysis focuses first on the staffing of the basic communication course, noting that small institutions lack graduate teaching assistants and therefore must consider alternative instructional formats, technological delivery systems, undergraduate facilitators, part time instructors, communication across the curriculum initiatives, or the retraining of faculty from other disciplines. The essay then evaluates the challenges of offering upper level communication courses with low enrollments, particularly courses that require a minimum number of participants for effective skill development. It outlines strategies …
Staffing The Basic Course And Still Having Flexibility To Meet Program Needs, Alan Lerstrom
Staffing The Basic Course And Still Having Flexibility To Meet Program Needs, Alan Lerstrom
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article analyzes the use of undergraduate assistants as a strategy for staffing the basic communication course in small colleges while preserving faculty capacity to meet broader programmatic needs. It reviews literature across disciplines to identify recurrent considerations in employing student assistants, including selection criteria, training, laboratory activities, grading practices, and compensation. The analysis highlights pedagogical benefits associated with laboratory based instruction, particularly increased student participation, enhanced opportunities for practicing communication skills, and improved peer level feedback. It also addresses concerns about consistency and evaluation by describing an approach that standardizes laboratory activities while allowing individual assistants to shape group …
Empirical Needles In Curricular Haystacks: Finding Research Opportunities In A Small College Program, David Droge
Empirical Needles In Curricular Haystacks: Finding Research Opportunities In A Small College Program, David Droge
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article examines the structural and cultural conditions that limit research activity in small college communication programs and outlines strategies for generating empirical research opportunities within such environments. It identifies heavy teaching loads, extensive service commitments, limited institutional support, and the dominance of introductory oral communication courses as primary barriers to sustained scholarly engagement. These constraints reduce time for research, inhibit collaboration with disciplinary peers, and restrict access to adequate computing and funding resources. In response, the article describes four strategies developed to integrate research into routine academic responsibilities. The first involves embedding empirical projects within existing seminars and creating …
Speech Communication Departments And The College Of Character, Roger Smitter
Speech Communication Departments And The College Of Character, Roger Smitter
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This essay examines the role of speech communication programs within undergraduate liberal arts institutions and argues that their long term vitality depends on articulating a clear connection between communication study and the distinctive character of each college. The discussion responds to broader critiques of undergraduate education that identify fragmentation, excessive professionalism, and a diminished sense of intellectual coherence as threats to the liberal arts. The essay outlines several guiding questions for departments seeking to define or strengthen their educational mission. These include clarifying why communication belongs in the liberal arts, identifying principles that organize a coherent curriculum, and determining how …
Developing An Anglo-American Communication Program, Terence Jackson
Developing An Anglo-American Communication Program, Terence Jackson
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This essay analyzes the development of an American style communication program within a British educational context. It begins by describing the structure of further and higher education in England and Wales and explains how traditions of vocational training and liberal education intersect within these systems. The discussion outlines the limited presence of communication as an academic field in Britain, noting that research in interpersonal, organizational, and mass communication exists but remains dispersed across sociology, psychology, and management. The essay then examines the challenges of creating a comprehensive communication curriculum at Warnborough College, including the scarcity of disciplinary resources, limited availability …

A Matter Of Choice, Frank E. X. Dance
A Matter Of Choice, Frank E. X. Dance
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This essay advances a theoretical argument linking liberal education to the human capacity for symbolic choice. It begins by contrasting the restrictive condition of slavery with the freedom made possible through intentional decision making, framing liberal education as a process that fosters autonomy rather than vocational preparation. The discussion traces the historical emergence of symbolic capacity as the defining feature of human communication, distinguishing symbols from signs and emphasizing the role of spoken language in enabling decentering from immediate circumstance. Through this process, individuals develop self awareness, the ability to conceptualize alternatives, and the capacity for deliberate choice. The essay …
Theatre As A Liberal Art, Gladys M. Crane
Theatre As A Liberal Art, Gladys M. Crane
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This essay argues that theatre belongs centrally within the liberal arts because it is a humanizing discipline rooted in the interpretation of human action. Theatre is presented as an eclectic art that synthesizes visual, spatial, aural, and temporal forms, while requiring analytical, interpretive, and integrative judgment throughout the production process. The discussion emphasizes that theatrical creation engages imagination, creativity, and critical evaluation as students move from script analysis to design, rehearsal, and performance. Because theatre draws on psychology, sociology, history, and ethics, the study of plays and characters demands sustained reflection on values, cultural contexts, and human motivation. The essay …

A Department Chair Interprets The Roles And Powers Of The Ideal Dean, Lloyd F. Bitzer
A Department Chair Interprets The Roles And Powers Of The Ideal Dean, Lloyd F. Bitzer
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article presents a department chair’s perspective on the powers and responsibilities of the ideal dean, emphasizing the influence a dean exerts through decisions affecting budgets, resources, and personnel. It argues that these powers shape a department’s programs, priorities, and long term vitality, making the dean’s role both consequential and potentially dangerous if exercised without wisdom and moral discipline. The ideal dean is described as one who holds limited but sufficient authority, whose decisions reflect institutional norms, and who avoids overreach or violations of established procedures. Problems arise either when the dean exceeds legitimate authority or when decisions, though formally …
