Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Women’s status in higher education is examined through legal, institutional, and statistical changes following major equity legislation of the early 1970s. The article acknowledges gains in women’s access to higher education, women’s studies programs, professional networks, and administrative development, while emphasizing persistent disparities in employment, rank, tenure, salary, and promotion. Drawing on reports from the Women’s Equity Action League, the American Association of University Professors, and a National Research Council study of matched male and female Ph.D.s, the article presents evidence that women remain concentrated in lower academic ranks, earn less than men, and advance more slowly toward tenure and …

Intermediate students are positioned as marketers who synthesize existing research, study primary sources, develop greater skill proficiency, and apply knowledge in more complex settings such as simulations, internships, teaching, or case analysis. Advanced students are presented as producers …

These programs are described as forms of outreach, recruitment, public service, and experiential learning, but also as sources of financial strain, artistic constraint, and …

Reservations About A Creative Analog: Waiting For The Reviews, Sheron J. Dailey Apr 1984

Reservations About A Creative Analog: Waiting For The Reviews, Sheron J. Dailey

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Framed as a reflective response to a proposed analog between scholarship and creative endeavor, this article questions whether creative work can be evaluated fairly through models derived from scholarly review. It situates the problem within the history of higher education, where artists have often been included in universities while remaining subject to standards built around traditional scholarship. The discussion acknowledges the value of efforts to validate creative work, but raises concerns about equivalence, especially when artistic practice is forced onto scholarly terrain. Particular attention is given to directing, which may function as teaching, service, research, or creative work depending on …

An Idea Of The College, Edward W. James Mar 1984

An Idea Of The College, Edward W. James

Bridgewater Review

Cardinal John Henry Newman in the spring of 1852 delivered a series of lectures, eventually published as The Idea of a University, which argued against those who thought that education should be useful. These proponents of utility maintained “that Education should be confined to some particular and narrow end and should issue in some definite work” – a view, Newman observed, which they “seemed to have thought ... needed but to be proclaimed ... to be embraced.” Were Newman here today he would soon see that the issues troubling him trouble us. To be sure, we face now new slogans, …
