History Of Jews At Oberlin College: A Mirror Of Change, Andrea R. Meyer Jan 1988

History Of Jews At Oberlin College: A Mirror Of Change, Andrea R. Meyer

Honors Papers

In searching for the first Jewish student at Oberlin College, I discovered and subsequently researched the life of, 1920 graduate Marion Benjamin Roth who started the Oberlin branch of the Menorah Society, a Jewish literary and cultural group. Mrs. Roth, whom I interviewed, started the group because she was concerned about the environment for Jewish students. In letters to Rabbi Wolsey in Cleveland she discussed her perceptions of life for Jewish students at Oberlin soon after her arrival.

Marion Benjamin later reflected that Jewish students needed to have "some place that they could get together if they wanted; to discuss …

Why Are You So Happy?, Samuel L. Becker, Douglas M. Trank Jan 1988

Why Are You So Happy?, Samuel L. Becker, Douglas M. Trank

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article reports findings from a national survey of communication department chairs examining factors that influence job satisfaction. Respondents generally indicated moderate to high satisfaction, with little variation across institutional types. However, the type of college housing the department affected satisfaction, with chairs in social sciences reporting the highest levels and those in performing arts the lowest. The most significant concerns across institutions were budgetary issues, including funds for equipment, travel, and general expenses, along with shortages of faculty. Analysis showed that perceptions of how departments were valued by higher administrators strongly influenced satisfaction, especially at master’s and doctoral-granting institutions. …

Organizational Qualities Of Academic Departments, Michael Pacanowsky Aug 1987

Organizational Qualities Of Academic Departments, Michael Pacanowsky

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article explores the qualities of organizational culture that can make academic departments more enabling rather than constraining. Drawing on a sabbatical experience with W.L. Gore & Associates, the discussion contrasts corporate practices with academic structures. Gore’s culture emphasized freedom, fairness, commitment, and open communication, supported by a lattice-style structure and sponsorship instead of hierarchical management. From this model, six principles of empowering organizations are identified: distributing power and opportunity, maintaining open communication, using integrative problem-solving, encouraging challenge within trust, fostering self-responsibility, and learning from organizational contradictions. The article applies these principles to higher education, offering questions for administrators to …


Female Leadership In Male-Dominated Organizations, Sue Dewine Aug 1987

Female Leadership In Male-Dominated Organizations, Sue Dewine

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines female leadership in male-dominated organizational cultures, particularly within the field of communication. It critiques common advice that encourages women to imitate masculine leadership models, arguing that such approaches create sterile environments and diminish the unique strengths women bring to leadership. The discussion reviews research on organizational culture and the influence of administrators in shaping departmental climates, highlighting persistent barriers faced by women in higher education. Evidence shows that female administrators often experience role conflict, isolation, and burnout, despite having skills comparable to male counterparts. Recommendations include embracing androgynous leadership traits, building professional networks, and promoting cultural change …


Leadership And Conflict Management, Linda L. Putnam Aug 1987

Leadership And Conflict Management, Linda L. Putnam

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines conflict management as a central component of organizational life, particularly within educational settings. Conflict is defined as interaction among interdependent parties over perceived incompatible goals or actions, with potential to be either destructive or constructive. Constructive management emphasizes clarity, openness, and trust, while destructive approaches foster rigidity, defensiveness, and escalation. The discussion explores the unique features of academic organizations, including loosely coupled systems, competing goals, scarce resources, and divided professional loyalties, which make them especially prone to disputes. Strategies reviewed include conflict styles such as confrontation, forcing, smoothing, compromising, and avoiding, as well as bargaining approaches that …
