An Analysis Of Degree-Granting Institutions And Number Of Articles Published By Their Graduates, Don W. Stacks, Mark L. Hickson Iii Aug 1983

An Analysis Of Degree-Granting Institutions And Number Of Articles Published By Their Graduates, Don W. Stacks, Mark L. Hickson Iii

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Using publication data from major speech communication journals, this article examines institutional prestige by tracing where published authors earned their highest degrees. Rather than ranking departments by current faculty output, the study credits articles to the institutions granting authors’ degrees, arguing that graduate productivity offers another indicator of program influence. The analysis reports patterns by degree level, departmental affiliation, and degree granting institution, then compares the resulting rankings with earlier studies based on departmental productivity and editorial board membership. The article identifies broad overlap among several ranking approaches while cautioning that publication counts do not measure article quality and may …

Come On Administrators: Get Off Our Backs, Gordon R. Owen Aug 1983

Come On Administrators: Get Off Our Backs, Gordon R. Owen

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Drawing on experience as a postsecondary speech educator, this commentary critiques administrative policies that prioritize publication counts over teaching quality and faculty judgment. It argues that pressures tied to enrollment decline, retrenchment, tenure insecurity, and managerial self preservation can make faculty the scapegoat and reduce educational quality. The essay challenges assumptions that teaching quality cannot be measured, that research and publication are equivalent, that publication totals are universally accepted measures of excellence, that submission readily produces publication, that publication guarantees quality, that experimental quantitative work should outrank other forms of inquiry, and that conference travel is justified only by presenting …

Student Retention: A Top Priority For The 80'S, Mary Lou Hlggerson, David Buckley

The discussion reviews shifts in retention research from predicting dropouts through admissions data toward improving student and institution interaction.

Evaluative Perceptions Of Doctoral Programs In Communication, 1982, Renee Edwards, Larry Barker

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Updating earlier ACA sponsored evaluations of doctoral programs in speech communication, this survey reports peer perceptions gathered from two Speech Communication Association samples: a random membership sample and a sample of first authors in major communication journals. Respondents rated programs in rhetorical and communication theory, interpersonal communication, organizational communication, mass communication, public address, communication education, oral interpretation, and overall quality. The article presents rankings and ratings by specialty area and compares patterns across the two respondent groups. It emphasizes that peer evaluation is only one indicator of program quality and cautions readers to interpret rankings by broad ranges rather than …

Managing Communication Stress: The Implications For Communication Administrators, John C. Relnard, John E. Crawford

Collective Bargaining And Academic Administration: The Significant Overlap, Albert Lewis Aug 1983

Collective Bargaining And Academic Administration: The Significant Overlap, Albert Lewis

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the overlap between collective bargaining and academic administration in communication departments. It uses a four process model of labor negotiation to compare bargaining work with departmental leadership, focusing on distributive bargaining, integrative bargaining, attitudinal structuring, and intraorganizational bargaining. The discussion connects negotiation over scarce resources with administrative decisions about equipment, faculty positions, operating funds, and program priorities. It also considers how problem solving, cooperation, trust, and legitimacy shape both contract administration and departmental governance. The article emphasizes the boundary role faced by negotiators and chairpersons, who must represent constituencies while working with external decision makers. It suggests …

Theory Z And Administrative Management, Judy Cureton, Bob Cureton Aug 1983

Theory Z And Administrative Management, Judy Cureton, Bob Cureton

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Focused on communication departments in higher education, this article considers Theory Z as a framework for administrative management during periods of limited resources. It describes Theory Z as an approach grounded in participatory decision making, egalitarian relationships, delegation, shared philosophy, and attention to human resources. The discussion links these principles to communication administration by emphasizing consensus, quality circles, departmental self study, consumer definitions of program quality, and long range planning. It also addresses hiring, evaluation, rewards, recognition, and the influence of individual interests on departmental objectives. The article closes by discussing trust, subtlety, and intimacy as interpersonal foundations for management, …

Campus And Community Graduate Assistant Programs, Gerald V. Flannery

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Amid reductions in federal and state support, this report describes a communication department strategy for expanding graduate assistantship funding through campus and community partnerships. The department solicited nonprofit organizations, selected businesses, and university units with communication related needs, offering graduate students’ assistance with public relations, speeches, news releases, photography, brochures, newsletters, and related tasks. The report explains how tuition and fee waivers, university foundation donations, and tax deductible contributions could support assistantships while benefiting participating agencies and campus offices. It presents the Community Program as a way to diversify support beyond normal graduate school funding and notes early pledges, future …
