Making The Transition From A Large University To An Established Small College Department, William A. Ternent

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Straight Talk, Tough Issues: Tenure In Times Of Retrenchment, Alvin Goldberg

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Addressing tenure during periods of institutional retrenchment, this article explains tenure as a protection for academic freedom rather than simply a guarantee of economic security. It reviews common criticisms of tenure, including claims that it protects unproductive faculty or limits hiring flexibility, and distinguishes those concerns from cases involving incompetence, misconduct, or financial exigency. The article argues that although tenured faculty may legally be dismissed when financial exigency is properly established, doing so can weaken the conditions that sustain academic freedom. It cautions that program elimination during budget crises may threaten precisely the kinds of intellectual independence that tenure is …

Sexual Harassment: A Protected Species On Campus?, Bonnie Gene Ritter

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Arguing from shared academic values rather than from legal documentation, this article examines how sexual harassment can be protected when academic freedom and collegiality are applied too broadly.

The article identifies areas where vague professional standards can enable abuse of power, including mentoring, advising, recommendations, assistantships, funding, and grading. It also criticizes closed internal responses that delay policy development, resist outside inquiry, and protect offenders more than victims.

Law Training As Preparation For Communication Administration, David Jamison Aug 1983

Law Training As Preparation For Communication Administration, David Jamison

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

It identifies legal study as a source of habits that may help administrators analyze problems, narrow disputes, practice advocacy, reason through probabilities, and attend to ethical responsibility.

It then applies these assumptions to department heads, deans, and program administrators who manage scarce resources, curriculum change, faculty concerns, institutional politics, and arguments for program value. The article does not claim that lawyers make superior administrators. Instead, …
