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 …

The Influence Of Federal Administrative Trends On The Budgetary Processes Of Nigeria’S Federal Universities., Iliya Wambi Samaila Jan 1985

The Influence Of Federal Administrative Trends On The Budgetary Processes Of Nigeria’S Federal Universities., Iliya Wambi Samaila

Dissertations (Pre-2016)

The proliferation of university educational demand in Nigeria occurred as a result of the oil boom and the subsequent creation of nineteen states. In 1974, Ibadan and Lagos Universities were the only federal universities; in 1976 seven more universities were created. The sudden increase, from two in 1974 to thirteen federal universities in 1976, necessitated the adoption of the formula funding model, which was perceived as being capable of allocating resources to all similar academic programs in the institutions. The thirteen federal universities were used in the study. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the applicability outcome of …

The Problem Of Publication: A Response, Donald H. Ecroyd Jan 1985

The Problem Of Publication: A Response, Donald H. Ecroyd

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This response essay addresses the increasing pressure on communication faculty to publish in refereed venues as part of tenure and promotion review. It situates publication within a changing academic environment marked by tighter budgets, greater competition for journal space, and heightened scrutiny of scholarly output. Drawing on the perspective of a journal editor, the essay notes that professional journals receive many more submissions than they can publish and that early-career faculty face particular difficulty in securing publication. The essay responds to related discussions of why, what, and how scholars should publish by emphasizing that publishable work must offer scholarly value, …


Why Publish?, Goodwin F. Berquist Jan 1985

Why Publish?, Goodwin F. Berquist

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines why many trained communication scholars fail to convert research projects into published scholarship. It argues that publishing is essential for advancing knowledge, establishing credibility, and participating fully in the academic profession. The article identifies several barriers to scholarly productivity, including lack of awareness about the value of publication, post-degree burnout, heavy teaching and service demands, weak writing preparation, perfectionism, and misunderstanding the difference between graduate coursework and publishable manuscripts. It emphasizes the role of communication administrators, advisors, and senior scholars in helping graduate students and new faculty understand publication expectations and develop practical writing habits. The article …


Publish What?, William R. Brown Jan 1985

Publish What?, William R. Brown

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article addresses the question of what kinds of scholarly work are most suitable for publication in communication studies, with particular attention to the needs of young scholars and those who mentor them. It defines publishable scholarship as “news” for the profession: work grounded in genuine intellectual curiosity, connected to significant conversations in the field, and willing to take calculated risks. The article distinguishes between general qualities of newsworthy research and more specific topics for future inquiry. Its proposed research agenda centers on symbolically negotiated patterns in human communication, including perspective-shifting, infinite regress, hypostatizing, cultural enactment, and learning. These topics …

It also cautions against premature submission, simultaneous submission to multiple journals, and inappropriate communication with editors. …


Evaluating Theatre Technology, Silberstein, Frank Silberstein Jan 1985

Evaluating Theatre Technology, Silberstein, Frank Silberstein

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article considers how theatre technology and the work of theatre technologists can be evaluated, particularly when assessment is used to judge the professional performance of technical personnel. It distinguishes the theatre technologist from designers, emphasizing the technologist’s role in devising practical means for achieving production effects and solving technical problems. The article argues that evaluation should account for both administrative competence and production outcomes, including scheduling, budgeting, shop organization, paperwork, safety practices, accident records, workmanship, rigging, structural knowledge, and the efficient use of available resources. It also notes the difficulty of assessing theatre technology from outside the production process, …


Computing Literacy In The University Of The Future, Vernon W. Gantt Jan 1985

Computing Literacy In The University Of The Future, Vernon W. Gantt

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article discusses the anticipated role of computing literacy in higher education during the emerging personal computer era. It distinguishes computing literacy, defined as the ability to use computers and software for practical tasks, from computer literacy, which includes programming and technical understanding of computer operations. The article argues that universities must respond to rapid developments in microcomputer technology and that faculty and administrators risk becoming less technologically capable than their students if they do not acquire basic computing skills. It surveys potential applications of computers in university teaching, research, writing, administration, advising, publishing, libraries, testing, data analysis, and professional …


Response To The University Of The Future, Lane Jennings Jan 1985

Response To The University Of The Future, Lane Jennings

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This response essay reflects on the future of the university from the perspective of an editor and journalist responding to essays on civic virtue, interdisciplinary communication, and computing literacy. It considers the university both as a civic community and as a looser relationship among teachers, students, and knowledge, drawing comparisons between American residential higher education, medieval universities, and emerging computer-networked instruction. The essay supports the role of universities in preparing students for democratic participation while also warning that new telecommunications technologies may reshape or weaken campus-based community if institutions do not adapt deliberately. It discusses interdisciplinary communication as a way …


Full Circle: The Domestic Policy Association, Annabel Dunham Hagood Jan 1985

Full Circle: The Domestic Policy Association, Annabel Dunham Hagood

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article traces the development of the Domestic Policy Association from early concerns about public deliberation in the aftermath of Vietnam, Watergate, and declining trust in government to the first Presidential Library Conference on the Public and Public Policy in 1983. It describes the role of David Mathews, educational institutions, civic organizations, the National Consortium for Public Policy Education, the Johnson Foundation, the Public Agenda Foundation, and the Kettering Foundation in shaping a national network for public policy education. The article explains how the National Issues Forum emerged as a grassroots, non-advocacy model for informed public discussion of domestic issues, …


The Chief Administrator As Legal Authority, Joan Van Tol Jan 1985

The Chief Administrator As Legal Authority, Joan Van Tol

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

The role of the department chair as legal authority in higher education is examined through three major areas of potential liability: academic planning, student-related issues, and employment matters. Academic planning discussions address admissions policies for disabled and disadvantaged students, legal constraints on program elimination during periods of retrenchment, and the contractual force of catalogs and changing degree requirements. Student-focused sections consider the standards for academic and disciplinary dismissal, appropriate responses to disruptive or mentally ill students, and the protection and disclosure of educational records under federal legislation. Employment issues include affirmative action and Title VII obligations in hiring, the contractual …
