Academic Theatre Administration, Jon Whitmore
Academic Theatre Administration, Jon Whitmore
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article delineates the essential competencies and preparatory pathways required for effective academic administration within theatre and related arts programs. Framing administration as a profession often entered by circumstance rather than intention, the discussion emphasizes leadership as a creative and managerial endeavor grounded in human relationships rather than bureaucratic control. The author identifies nine critical skills: leadership, motivation, conflict resolution, planning, legal literacy, financial management, bureaucratic navigation, problem-solving, and communication. Each is presented as a necessary attribute for sustaining academic programs in resource-limited environments. The paper further outlines avenues for developing these skills, including committee work, professional reading, engagement with …
So You Want To Be An Administrator? Be Prepared For Change, Richard W. Platt
So You Want To Be An Administrator? Be Prepared For Change, Richard W. Platt
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This reflective case study explores the dynamics of institutional and personal change through the author’s experience as a department and divisional chair at a small private liberal arts college. The narrative traces the evolution of administrative responsibility amid shifting institutional structures, financial constraints, and demographic transformation in higher education during the late twentieth century. The analysis highlights how external forces—such as economic pressures, federal funding fluctuations, and changing student populations—interact with internal developments in curriculum design, faculty composition, and organizational restructuring. Central to the argument is the necessity for adaptability: effective administration requires balancing planning and leadership within fluid systems …
A Program Of Faculty Development For Small College Career Satisfaction, Thomas W. Duncanson, Alberto Gonzalez
A Program Of Faculty Development For Small College Career Satisfaction, Thomas W. Duncanson, Alberto Gonzalez
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This paper proposes a model of faculty development designed to enhance career satisfaction and professional retention among small college teachers. Recognizing that such institutions often experience high faculty turnover and limited professional support, the authors argue that sustained faculty vitality depends on cultivating collegiality, autonomy, and scholarship. Collegiality is presented as a political and ethical mode of academic governance that requires shared purpose, participatory decision making, and ongoing reflection on the moral obligations of teaching. Autonomy is defined as disciplined self-direction rather than individualism, representing both personal growth and institutional benefit. Scholarship is examined as a balance between the reproduction …
Professionalism And Unionism In The Small Department, Lawrence W. Rosenfield
Professionalism And Unionism In The Small Department, Lawrence W. Rosenfield
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This essay investigates the relationship between academic professionalism and the rise of unionism, focusing on their implications for faculty life in small departments. The analysis situates the issue within the historical ideal of the university as a civic community governed by collegial virtue and shared scholarly purpose. The author argues that the decline of departmental self governance and the spread of corporate administrative models have eroded this republican vision, leaving faculty increasingly defined by economic rather than intellectual identity. In this context, unionism emerges as both a response to and a potential redefinition of professional engagement. The essay identifies two …
A Response To Achieving Professional Professions, Claude Mathis
A Response To Achieving Professional Professions, Claude Mathis
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This response essay engages with the preceding discussions on professionalism in small academic departments, particularly those by Duffy, Rosenfield, and Ryan. The author argues that professionalism is determined more by individual and institutional values than by departmental organization or discipline. The analysis commends Duffy’s perspective on thriving within merged departments, noting that collegial support and shared commitment matter more than structural autonomy. It also reflects on Rosenfield’s treatment of unionism, suggesting that while collective bargaining once represented liberation for faculty, it risks devolving into an excessive focus on wages and working conditions rather than educational quality. The essay praises Ryan’s …
Recruiting And Retaining Students Through The High School Drama Teacher, Shirlee Hennigan
Recruiting And Retaining Students Through The High School Drama Teacher, Shirlee Hennigan
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article presents a case study of recruitment and retention strategies employed by the drama and speech department at Lewis Clark State College, a small institution with limited faculty and resources. The author outlines a multifaceted approach centered on collaboration with regional high school drama teachers and the cultivation of a supportive departmental community. Key initiatives include hosting an annual High School Drama Day, attending local high school productions, awarding a Presidential Scholarship through auditions and portfolios, and providing ongoing assistance to secondary educators through advising and networking. Internal retention efforts focus on financial aid, departmental social events, student evaluations, …
Confronting The Problem Of Retention In The Theatre Program Of Limited Size, Margaret M. Swanson
Confronting The Problem Of Retention In The Theatre Program Of Limited Size, Margaret M. Swanson
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article investigates the persistent challenge of student retention in small theatre programs and presents an institutional case study from the University of Wisconsin–River Falls. The author analyzes how open admissions policies, small program size, and uneven academic preparation affect student persistence and departmental stability. Through three detailed student case studies, the discussion explores motivations for attrition, ranging from transfer to professional training to academic failure and disengagement. The analysis concludes that while program retention serves institutional needs, it is not always in the best interest of individual students. In response, the department adopted policies linking academic eligibility to participation, …
Establishing A Departmental Consulting Service, Dan B. Curtis, Jerry L. Winsor
Establishing A Departmental Consulting Service, Dan B. Curtis, Jerry L. Winsor
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article presents a model for creating and sustaining a consulting and training program within a communication department at a regional public university. Drawing on nearly a decade of experience, the discussion identifies institutional benefits that include increased visibility, recruitment pathways, new instructional materials, strengthened classroom practice, and cross campus collegiality. It analyzes internal and external challenges such as perceived competition with university offerings, limits on faculty time, and professional concerns about the academic value of consulting. The authors describe procedures for handling requests through a departmental committee, allocating projects, and managing fees and use of resources. Strategic recommendations emphasize …
