Speech And Mass Communication: Together Again, E. Culpepper Clark Aug 1986

Speech And Mass Communication: Together Again, E. Culpepper Clark

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This essay examines the historical development and administrative philosophy behind the integration of speech and mass communication programs at the University of Alabama, Birmingham. It situates the merger within broader debates over the relationship between professional and liberal arts education, arguing that the disciplines share enough theoretical and pedagogical ground to justify collaboration at the undergraduate level. Through a detailed account of departmental structure, curriculum, faculty composition, and tenure policy, the essay demonstrates how institutional design can balance academic and professional objectives. The author advocates for a liberal arts orientation rooted in rhetoric, hermeneutics, and language-based theory, even within career-oriented …

The Oxford Accord: Documenting Off-Campus Professional Productivity, James M. Symons Aug 1986

The Oxford Accord: Documenting Off-Campus Professional Productivity, James M. Symons

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This essay analyzes the treatment of off-campus professional productivity in the Oxford Accord, a document establishing guidelines for evaluating theatre faculty. It argues that the Accord represents a significant evolution from earlier standards by broadening the concept of professional accomplishment beyond employment in commercial or professional theatre. The discussion reframes off-campus activity as a means of demonstrating professional recognition and quality rather than replicating the scholarly publication model used in other disciplines. The author emphasizes that faculty may document their achievements through multiple forms of evidence, including leadership in professional organizations, competitive recognition, invited teaching, or demonstrated artistic competence. The …

The Big Click: Burnout And The University Td, William R. Peeler Aug 1986

The Big Click: Burnout And The University Td, William R. Peeler

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This empirical study investigates professional burnout among university technical directors and designers, a population often neglected in research on faculty stress. Using a nationwide mailed questionnaire distributed to 373 faculty members listed in a directory of design and technical theatre staff, the study achieved a 61 percent response rate, with 83 percent of respondents reporting burnout at some point in their careers. Analysis of survey data reveals that burnout is pervasive but multifactorial, arising from excessive workload, inadequate recognition, limited peer support, and undervaluation of technical contributions within academic hierarchies. Although respondents frequently cited long hours and production pressures, the …

The Impact Of Communication Apprehension On Student Retention And Success: A Preliminary Report, James C. Mccroskey, Steven K. Payne Apr 1986

The Impact Of Communication Apprehension On Student Retention And Success: A Preliminary Report, James C. Mccroskey, Steven K. Payne

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article reports preliminary results from a longitudinal investigation of how communication apprehension influences academic performance and student retention in college. Data were collected from 1884 incoming freshmen at a large public university, who completed a standardized communication apprehension measure during orientation. Official academic records over four consecutive semesters provided grade point averages, credits earned, and enrollment status. Analyses reveal that students with high communication apprehension consistently earned lower grade point averages and completed fewer credits than moderate or low apprehensive students. Retention patterns also differed. High apprehensive students were substantially more likely to withdraw from the university over the …

Use Of Interdisciplinary Education To Foster Familiarization Among Health Professionals, Linda Jean Laatsch-Lybeck, Linda Milson, Susan E. Zimmer Feb 1986

Use Of Interdisciplinary Education To Foster Familiarization Among Health Professionals, Linda Jean Laatsch-Lybeck, Linda Milson, Susan E. Zimmer

Clinical Lab Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

This paper describes a pilot interdisciplinary experience between the dental hygiene and medical technology programs at Marquette University. It was designed, in part, to familiarize dental hygiene students with the medical technology profession. Comments solicited from students on the final evaluation form indicated that this pilot project was highly successful and met the objectives. Affective, multiple-choice questions on pretests and posttests showed a positive change in attitude, but this change was not statistically significant. Possible reasons for this are discussed. Benefits of this pilot project were an improved understanding of medical technology on the part of the dental hygiene students, …

Speech Communication As Seen From The Top: University Presidents Look At The Discipline, Donald N. Dedmon Jan 1986

Speech Communication As Seen From The Top: University Presidents Look At The Discipline, Donald N. Dedmon

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This essay presents a university president’s reflection on the state and identity of speech communication as an academic field. The author observes that despite decades of growth, the discipline still lacks consensus on its core definition and intellectual boundaries. Journals demonstrate increasing sophistication, yet the author questions whether specialized language risks insularity and diminished public relevance. Drawing analogies to sociology and computer science, the essay warns against excessive internal focus and argues that communication must cultivate clearer relevance to contemporary social questions and professional practice. The author notes that subfields once housed within communication, such as communication disorders and theatre, …

The Phd In Theatre — A Vanishing Degree?, Richard Hornby Jan 1986

The Phd In Theatre — A Vanishing Degree?, Richard Hornby

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This essay examines the decline of doctoral study in theatre and argues for the continued necessity of the PhD as the primary academic credential in the field. The author documents a significant reduction in PhD programs, student enrollments, and degree completions since the late 1970s, and attributes this trend to both broader reductions in humanities hiring and the rapid expansion of MFA programs. The essay contends that many MFA graduates enter academic positions for which they lack sufficient academic and historical preparation, particularly in areas of dramatic literature, theory, and non realistic performance styles. The author asserts that this shift …

A Survey Of Communication Research Centers, Barry S. Sapolsky, Nancy Byrd

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article reports the results of a national survey designed to profile communication research centers affiliated with American universities.

Seventy six centers were identified through directories and institutional inquiries, and data were collected through a mailed questionnaire followed by telephone follow up. Forty centers completed the instrument. Findings indicate significant variation across centers, but the typical unit had operated for approximately thirteen years, was housed within an academic department, and maintained five dedicated rooms, limited staff support, and …
