Administering The Small College Program: An Introduction, Bonnie Wilson Buzza

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This introductory essay outlines the emergence of a coordinated national effort to strengthen speech communication programs at small colleges. It contextualizes the 1985 curriculum conference at Hope College as a significant point in the ongoing development of these programs. The essay explains that earlier initiatives established a foundation of shared concerns and collaborative activity through committees, conferences, and informal professional networks. The 1985 meeting marks a transition toward more deliberate work on curriculum design, faculty development, scholarly engagement, and improved relationships between small college programs and graduate institutions that supply future faculty. The introduction further summarizes the structure of the …

Administrative Style And The Small College Context, Joseph W. Macdoniels

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This essay examines the distinctive administrative challenges faced by leaders of small college communication programs and argues that prevailing managerial models are poorly suited to the values and structures of these institutions. It begins by distinguishing administration, management, and leadership, noting that contemporary higher education privileges managerial thinking oriented toward efficiency, control, and product driven outcomes. The discussion contends that this framework conflicts with the interpersonal, process oriented commitments of communication faculty and with the collegial traditions of small liberal arts colleges. The essay outlines the limitations of the management oriented model at the departmental level, where chairs are expected …

Departmental Administration Within The Small College Environment: Analysis And Extension, James E. Roever

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This response essay evaluates preceding analyses of small college administration and extends their implications through a methodologically oriented lens. It begins by addressing the definitional challenges surrounding what constitutes a small department or small liberal arts college, noting that existing definitions remain imprecise and often subjective. Using Allan Tucker’s framework of chairperson responsibilities, the essay proposes a structured means of comparing administrative roles across institutional types. It then examines the claims raised in earlier papers, including the influence of managerial models, the limited authority of departmental leaders, the prevalence of informal communication networks, and the extensive teaching and service commitments …

Concerns, Questions, And Changes In Small Colleges, Dale M. Jackson

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This essay analyzes the distinctive concerns facing faculty and administrators at small liberal arts colleges and considers the curricular developments likely to shape the communication discipline through the remainder of the decade. It argues that although faculty share universal issues such as salaries, tenure, and job security, the small college environment introduces unique pressures. These include heavy teaching loads, broad course preparation, intensive committee work, and heightened student expectations generated by close faculty student interaction. Faculty also express anxiety over the expanding influence of vocational demands and the potential displacement of liberal education, even as they work to help students …

An Exploration Of Some Problems Confronting Speech Communication Faculty, Sandra Manheimer

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This essay examines three persistent problem areas faced by speech communication faculty at small colleges that result from limited institutional resources. The analysis focuses first on the staffing of the basic communication course, noting that small institutions lack graduate teaching assistants and therefore must consider alternative instructional formats, technological delivery systems, undergraduate facilitators, part time instructors, communication across the curriculum initiatives, or the retraining of faculty from other disciplines. The essay then evaluates the challenges of offering upper level communication courses with low enrollments, particularly courses that require a minimum number of participants for effective skill development. It outlines strategies …

Staffing The Basic Course And Still Having Flexibility To Meet Program Needs, Alan Lerstrom

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article analyzes the use of undergraduate assistants as a strategy for staffing the basic communication course in small colleges while preserving faculty capacity to meet broader programmatic needs. It reviews literature across disciplines to identify recurrent considerations in employing student assistants, including selection criteria, training, laboratory activities, grading practices, and compensation. The analysis highlights pedagogical benefits associated with laboratory based instruction, particularly increased student participation, enhanced opportunities for practicing communication skills, and improved peer level feedback. It also addresses concerns about consistency and evaluation by describing an approach that standardizes laboratory activities while allowing individual assistants to shape group …

Approaches To The Basic Curriculum In Small College Departments, Roger Smitter, Joseph W. Macdoniels

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines required course structures in small college speech communication programs in order to determine whether curricular patterns reveal shared organizing principles for the major. Drawing on catalog data from sixty one institutions that are either small in enrollment or limited in speech communication faculty, the analysis categorizes required courses and identifies their frequency across programs. The findings demonstrate substantial variability in required curricula, with little consistency in course titles, sequences, or theoretical foundations. Public speaking emerges as the most common requirement, yet it is mandated at fewer than half of the institutions studied. Introductory courses vary widely in …

Burnout Syndrome: Fighting The Battle Between Inspiration And Desperation, David C. File

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the concept of burnout as it affects administrators of small college theatre programs and identifies the structural and psychological conditions that make these individuals particularly vulnerable. Burnout is defined as an emotional safeguard that emerges when the energy required to meet goal expectations exceeds an individual’s capacity, creating an imbalance between effort and perceived reward. Drawing on Freudenberger’s work and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, the article argues that burnout develops when persistent striving toward unrealistic goals erodes the sense of self worth and shifts behavior from creative engagement to defensive self protection. The analysis explains how limited …

Integrating Forensics Into The Curriculum, Jay G. Verlinden

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article argues that intercollegiate forensics should be treated as an integral curricular component within small college speech communication programs rather than as an expendable extracurricular activity. Drawing on comparisons to laboratory requirements in the natural sciences, the discussion contends that forensics provides an essential laboratory experience through which students learn to select, analyze, and organize material in pursuit of varied rhetorical strategies. The article explains how tournament participation exposes students to diverse critical perspectives, motivates higher levels of performance, and develops confidence, poise, and credibility. It assigns primary responsibility for curricular integration to the director of forensics, who must …

Disciplinary Integrity, Credibility, And Scholarly Activity: Small College Revisited, Peter L. Settle

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article reexamines the conditions under which small college communication programs establish and maintain disciplinary integrity and credibility, focusing on the tension between teaching and research expectations. It argues that integrity depends on curricular fidelity, defined as the alignment between a program’s scope, content, and goals and broader disciplinary developments. Because small colleges often face limited personnel, financial constraints, and restricted access to professional networks, they are at increased risk of drifting from disciplinary trends or relying on outdated knowledge. The article identifies traditional mechanisms for staying current, including scholarly reading, conference participation, and engagement with colleagues, but notes that …

The Clinical Supervision Of Teaching In The Small College Communication Department, Ellen Hay

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the applicability of the clinical supervision model to the evaluation and improvement of teaching in small college communication departments. It argues that traditional supervisory practices often fail to support instructional development because they emphasize identifying incompetence rather than fostering growth among capable instructors. Clinical supervision is presented as a structured, five step process consisting of a pre observation conference, classroom observation with systematic data collection, analysis of observed behaviors, a post observation conference, and a concluding critique of the supervision cycle. The article details how this model encourages cooperative goal setting, focuses attention on specific teaching behaviors …

Anatomy Of A Self-Study, Jane Kennedy Dale

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article provides a detailed account of the self study conducted by the Department of Communications, Speech and Theatre at Fairleigh Dickinson University, situating the process within university wide mandates for program evaluation. It outlines the administrative origins of the initiative, beginning with Senate guidelines that emphasized collegiality and established a strict timetable for departmental review, consultant selection, and report submission. The narrative documents the extensive data gathering required for the study, including faculty vitae, course syllabi, curricular rationales, library assessments, enrollment trends, facilities reports, and analyses of departmental programs such as internships, media operations, and theatre activities. It also …

Directing The Combined Speech And Composition Course: A Practical Perspective, Raylene Tapia

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the administrative and pedagogical challenges of directing a combined basic speech and composition course, emphasizing the structural and interpersonal obstacles that shape program coordination. It argues that successful collaboration between speech and composition instructors depends heavily on institutional organization. Programs housed within the same division or school benefit from clearer lines of authority, shared goals, and greater ease in establishing common objectives. By contrast, when instructors are drawn from multiple departments or schools, coordination becomes more difficult, particularly when the course director lacks formal authority over participating faculty. The article also stresses the importance of voluntary participation, …

Interfacing Of English And Speech In A Basic Course, Marion Sitzmann

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article proposes a combined basic course in English composition and speech for small colleges and justifies the model through demographic, curricular, and historical considerations. The argument begins by noting that significant declines in the eighteen year old population will likely force reductions in faculty and require the consolidation of foundational courses. The combined course is presented as a pragmatic response that can preserve curricular flexibility while allowing students additional space for electives or internships. The article then establishes a philosophical rationale by tracing the shared origins of writing and speaking in classical rhetoric, emphasizing the relevance of invention, arrangement, …
