Communication In The Socialization Of The Academic Department Chairperson, Christopher H. Spicer, Ann Q. Staton-Spicer

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the role of communication in the socialization of new academic department chairs. While most chairs are appointed with little or no administrative training, they must quickly adapt to complex responsibilities involving leadership without extensive authority. Using intensive interviews with four newly appointed chairs, the study identifies a typology of twenty-one communication dimensions across four functional categories: informative, integrative, regulative, and innovative. These include activities such as information seeking and giving, relationship building, exercising authority, and initiating change. Findings show that communication is central to role-making as chairs negotiate expectations, establish credibility, and adapt prior faculty experience to …

Mccarthyism Here We Come Again, Paul Antonie Distler

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article analyzes the origins, goals, and strategies of Accuracy in Academia (AIA), a conservative organization that emerged in the mid-1980s as an outgrowth of Accuracy in Media.

The discussion highlights how these efforts, framed as correcting bias, often targeted liberal faculty and created controversy by pressuring universities through media exposure and alumni concerns. A case study involving Virginia Tech illustrates how AIA campaigns, though unsuccessful in altering teaching practices, generated …

After appeals and hearings, the university trustees deferred closure and eventually voted to continue the program, aided by changes in state oversight agencies. The discussion provides guidance for administrators facing similar reviews, …

Hydrogen For Power Applications. Task 2: Storage Of Hydrogen In Solid, Liquid And Gaseous Forms. June 1988. 1 V., Florida Solar Energy Center, David L. Block

FSEC Energy Research Center®

This report provides a comprehensive account of the major developments and the issues of concern in the storage and handling of hydrogen in all three forms, namely, solid (as metal hydrides), liquid and gaseous. Keeping in mind that ground transportation has the potential to be the most obvious and widespread utilization vector for hydrogen, particular effort is made to compare alternative storage and handling systems of hydrogen with that of gasoline. Conclusions and recommendations are based on a systematic and unbiased analysis of the pros and cons of various storage and handling options for hydrogen, both demonstrated and projected.
