Straight Talk, Tough Issues: Tenure In Times Of Retrenchment, Alvin Goldberg Oct 1983

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 …


Three Communication Responsibilities Concerning Sexual Harassment, Bonnie Wilson Buzza Oct 1983

Three Communication Responsibilities Concerning Sexual Harassment, Bonnie Wilson Buzza

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Framing sexual harassment as an issue of communication ethics and responsibility, this article argues that speech communication professionals should help create informed, sensitive, and practical discussion about harassment on campus. It distinguishes unwanted harassment from consensual attention, notes the role of power in many incidents, and explains that legal definitions do not fully resolve ethical responsibilities. The article identifies three communication responsibilities: discussing the issue honestly and supportively, telling a harasser directly when conduct is unwelcome, and encouraging potential harassers to consider audience, feedback, intent, and effect before speaking or acting. It emphasizes self esteem, assertiveness, institutional policy, grievance procedures, …

Sexual Harassment: A Protected Species On Campus?, Bonnie Gene Ritter Oct 1983

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. It contends that faculty communities may use legitimate principles to shield behavior that harms students, colleagues, and institutional trust. 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. The article contributes to academic ethics by urging clearer limits on professional freedom …

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

This article examines law training as a resource for communication administration and academic leadership. 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. The discussion first reviews what legal education seeks to impart, including attention to experience, analysis, advocacy, probable judgment, and professional ethics. 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, …


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 Aug 1983

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

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Responding to declining enrollments and budget pressures, this article frames student retention as a central concern for college and university administrators. It distinguishes undesirable attrition from appropriate student departure and argues that institutions should focus on students who might persist with better advising, support, and institutional contact. The discussion reviews shifts in retention research from predicting dropouts through admissions data toward improving student and institution interaction. It identifies challenges in tracking potential dropouts, including inadequate information systems, incomplete exit interviews, and limited records on students who leave. The article proposes mapping key interaction points, training faculty and staff in communication …

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 …
