Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This essay offers a university president’s assessment of the speech communication discipline and outlines challenges facing academic programs as higher education enters a period of intensified competition and financial constraint.

The discussion emphasizes that declining enrollments, limited state support, and heightened institutional competition will require departments to articulate clear objectives aligned with institutional missions and to demonstrate measurable value to students and administrators. Recommendations include narrowing curricula to avoid unfocused expansion, establishing rigorous instructional standards, prioritizing individualized communication skills training supported by …


Presidents Look At The Field Of Speech Communication: A Commentary, Donald Smith Jan 1986

Presidents Look At The Field Of Speech Communication: A Commentary, Donald Smith

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This commentary responds to essays by two university presidents on the condition of the speech communication discipline. The author affirms concerns about the field’s longstanding struggle to define a coherent intellectual identity, noting that communication emerged historically as a coalition of underrecognized instructional areas rather than through shared conceptual foundations. While acknowledging that disciplinary ambiguity is not unique in academia and may coexist with creativity and public appeal, the essay questions whether ambiguity can remain viable amid changing higher education environments. The author critiques tendencies toward imitative scholarship and excessive methodological debate at the expense of substantive inquiry into rhetorical …

Evaluating Art: Policies And Practices, Samuel L. Becker, Geprge Gunkel, Rebecca Arbogast, Lisette Sell Aug 1985

Evaluating Art: Policies And Practices, Samuel L. Becker, Geprge Gunkel, Rebecca Arbogast, Lisette Sell

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article presents the results of a national survey that examined how colleges and universities evaluated artistic work produced by theatre faculty in promotion and tenure decisions. The study gathered responses from 304 institutions representing two year colleges, four year institutions, master’s level programs, and PhD granting universities. The authors document considerable variation in theatre curricula across institutional types and identify systematic differences in the availability of theatre degrees. The findings indicate that institutions lacked consistent procedures for assessing artistic work and rarely maintained written guidelines for evaluators. Many departments kept incomplete or irregular records of production evaluations, and the …


Analysis Of Teaching Evaluation Instruments Collected By Aca, Betty Jo Welch Aug 1985

Analysis Of Teaching Evaluation Instruments Collected By Aca, Betty Jo Welch

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article analyzes twenty nine student evaluation instruments collected from seventy five higher education institutions in the United States and Canada in order to determine how teaching effectiveness is conceptualized and measured. The study identifies substantial variation in instrument design yet finds seven recurring dimensions: organization, student teacher interaction and rapport, classroom skill and lecturing ability, workload and course difficulty, grading and evaluation, personal satisfaction, and course content. Representative literature is reviewed to assess the strengths and limitations of evaluation approaches such as alumni surveys, self evaluation, student achievement measures, classroom visitation, and peer review. Research evidence indicates that well …
