The Theatre Professional As Temporary Faculty Resource, Milly S. Milly
The Theatre Professional As Temporary Faculty Resource, Milly S. Milly
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article explores the use of part-time and temporary professional artists as essential instructional and creative resources in university theatre programs. Framing the issue within the constraints of aging faculty, reduced hiring opportunities, and limited institutional resources, the discussion argues for rethinking traditional employment structures to accommodate the cyclical and collaborative nature of theatre production. The author proposes an “organic” model in which temporary artist-teachers contribute to the life cycle of performance—design, rehearsal, and production—while maintaining professional practice. This integration is presented not as exploitation but as mutually beneficial exchange, offering flexibility and renewal for academic programs and employment for …
The Use And Abuse Of Part-Time And Temporary Faculty, Fred Behringer
The Use And Abuse Of Part-Time And Temporary Faculty, Fred Behringer
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article analyzes the structural, financial, and ethical dimensions of employing part-time and temporary faculty in university theatre programs. Based on institutional experience, it identifies both the practical necessity and systemic inequities inherent in contingent staffing models. The discussion outlines the benefits of such arrangements—access to specialized expertise, curricular flexibility, and expanded production capacity—alongside their drawbacks, including low compensation, lack of benefits, administrative instability, and risks of exploitation. The author argues that part-time staffing, while often indispensable, must be managed through flexible budgeting, administrative support, and professional respect for adjunct personnel. Examples from departmental practice demonstrate how increased autonomy in …

Academic Theatre Administration, Jon Whitmore
Academic Theatre Administration, Jon Whitmore
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article delineates the essential competencies and preparatory pathways required for effective academic administration within theatre and related arts programs. Framing administration as a profession often entered by circumstance rather than intention, the discussion emphasizes leadership as a creative and managerial endeavor grounded in human relationships rather than bureaucratic control. The author identifies nine critical skills: leadership, motivation, conflict resolution, planning, legal literacy, financial management, bureaucratic navigation, problem-solving, and communication. Each is presented as a necessary attribute for sustaining academic programs in resource-limited environments. The paper further outlines avenues for developing these skills, including committee work, professional reading, engagement with …
A Program Of Faculty Development For Small College Career Satisfaction, Thomas W. Duncanson, Alberto Gonzalez
A Program Of Faculty Development For Small College Career Satisfaction, Thomas W. Duncanson, Alberto Gonzalez
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This paper proposes a model of faculty development designed to enhance career satisfaction and professional retention among small college teachers. Recognizing that such institutions often experience high faculty turnover and limited professional support, the authors argue that sustained faculty vitality depends on cultivating collegiality, autonomy, and scholarship. Collegiality is presented as a political and ethical mode of academic governance that requires shared purpose, participatory decision making, and ongoing reflection on the moral obligations of teaching. Autonomy is defined as disciplined self-direction rather than individualism, representing both personal growth and institutional benefit. Scholarship is examined as a balance between the reproduction …
A Response To Achieving Professional Professions, Claude Mathis
A Response To Achieving Professional Professions, Claude Mathis
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This response essay engages with the preceding discussions on professionalism in small academic departments, particularly those by Duffy, Rosenfield, and Ryan. The author argues that professionalism is determined more by individual and institutional values than by departmental organization or discipline. The analysis commends Duffy’s perspective on thriving within merged departments, noting that collegial support and shared commitment matter more than structural autonomy. It also reflects on Rosenfield’s treatment of unionism, suggesting that while collective bargaining once represented liberation for faculty, it risks devolving into an excessive focus on wages and working conditions rather than educational quality. The essay praises Ryan’s …
A Student Communication Consulting Firm: An Experiential Education Option, Dorothy E. Freeman
A Student Communication Consulting Firm: An Experiential Education Option, Dorothy E. Freeman
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article describes the establishment of a student communication consulting firm at Ball State University as a model of experiential education in applied communication. Created in 1984 with minimal investment by eight students, the firm, Pentad Affiliates, provided consulting services in organizational diagnostics, professional presentations, sales training, interpersonal skills development, and employment preparation. Operating largely within the university but also serving private and public sector clients, the firm generated revenue while offering students direct experience in research, marketing, and professional communication. The discussion outlines administrative structures, faculty support requirements, and procedures for program initiation, including needs assessment, student selection, and …
So You Want To Be An Administrator, Robert N. Bostrom
So You Want To Be An Administrator, Robert N. Bostrom
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This essay offers a balanced and candid reflection on the challenges and opportunities of academic administration during a period of economic constraint and institutional change. Framed around the dual themes of “good news” and “bad news,” the analysis situates administrative work within broader systemic shifts in higher education, including the transition from a growth economy to one of fiscal limitation, the persistence of adversarial faculty–administration relationships, and the increasing bureaucratization and unionization of academic life. Despite these impediments, the author identifies countervailing developments such as the growing recognition of communication’s central role in education, the expanding availability of professional development …
Communication Arts And Sciences In Transition, Douglas M. Trank, Sanuel L. Becker, Barbara Hall
Communication Arts And Sciences In Transition, Douglas M. Trank, Sanuel L. Becker, Barbara Hall
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This study presents a comprehensive appraisal of the state of communication arts and sciences departments in U.S. higher education during the mid-1980s. Drawing on survey data from 373 institutions, the research examines departmental organization, faculty demographics, curricular emphases, and budgetary trends. Findings reveal a field in ongoing transition, marked by diverse departmental structures and naming conventions, frequent reorganizations, and the separation of traditional areas such as theatre, mass communication, and speech pathology into independent units. Faculty data indicate modest levels of tenure and continuing gender disparities, though representation of women and minorities is increasing. Salary levels and resource distributions vary …

The Concept Of A School Of Communication, John Lee Jellicorse
The Concept Of A School Of Communication, John Lee Jellicorse
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This essay traces the historical development of the communication disciplines and argues for the reintegration of their fragmented academic structures into unified schools of communication. Beginning with the rhetorical traditions of antiquity, it outlines the evolution of oral discourse education through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, highlighting key moments such as the elocutionary movement, the separation of speech from English departments, and the emergence of specialized areas including theatre, mass communication, communication disorders, and rhetoric. The analysis attributes administrative fragmentation to uneven disciplinary growth and institutional politics, which produced inefficiency and weakened the field’s collective influence. Drawing on examples from …
How Vital Is The Basic Course In The 1980'S?, James W. Gibson, Michael S. Hanna
How Vital Is The Basic Course In The 1980'S?, James W. Gibson, Michael S. Hanna
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This empirical study examines the status and trends of the basic course in speech communication across U.S. colleges and universities during the mid-1980s. Drawing on survey data from 552 institutions, the analysis assesses enrollment patterns, instructional practices, faculty assignments, credit hour production, administrative support, and competition from other academic units. The findings indicate that the public speaking orientation remains the dominant model for the basic course, followed by combination formats integrating interpersonal and small-group communication. Enrollment trends show overall stability or moderate growth, particularly at universities and mid-sized colleges, with smaller institutions experiencing minor declines. Class sizes remain small, typically …
The Wisdom Of Reclaiming A Legacy, Allen S. White
The Wisdom Of Reclaiming A Legacy, Allen S. White
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This essay responds to William J. Bennett’s To Reclaim a Legacy, offering a balanced perspective on the report’s critique of the humanities and its relevance to theatre education. The author acknowledges the value of reaffirming the study of Western civilization and the great books but contends that Bennett’s vision is incomplete without a more inclusive, pragmatic, and pedagogically dynamic approach. The argument emphasizes that higher education in a democratic society must balance excellence with accessibility, teaching the humanities as living, applicable knowledge rather than static tradition. Using theatre as a model discipline, the essay illustrates how creative interpretation, performance, and …
Why A Department Of Communication? Hanging Together Or Hanging Separately, Robert O. Blanchard
Why A Department Of Communication? Hanging Together Or Hanging Separately, Robert O. Blanchard
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This essay argues for the unification of the fragmented academic fields that study human communication, contending that the separation among speech, journalism, mass communication, and related disciplines weakens their collective intellectual and institutional standing. The author identifies three revolutions reshaping the field: the communication revolution, driven by interactive technologies that collapse distinctions between interpersonal and mass communication; the intellectual revolution, which demands integrative theoretical frameworks; and the campus revolution, which pressures academic programs to justify their disciplinary coherence and relevance to liberal education. The discussion critiques the persistence of outdated departmental divisions and vocational curricula, emphasizing the need for convergence …
