It describes a career focused course model that connects communication theory and practice to students’ major fields through interviews, field specific research, panels, and briefings. Survey responses from former students are used to evaluate communication activities and skills most frequently needed in work settings. The article contributes to communication …

Closeouts In Communication Courses: The Students’ Perspective, Judy C. Pearson

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Student perspectives on course access problems are examined in relation to communication courses facing high demand and limited instructional resources. The article reports student responses to possible remedies for overenrollment, including enrollment limits, large lectures, small performance sections, graduate teaching assistants, undergraduate assistants, reduced performances, mediated instruction, and priority registration for majors. The findings suggest that students were willing to accept some structural changes, especially large lectures paired with small performance sections, greater use of graduate assistants, media support, and priority for majors.

What Do Some Of The Leading Journals And Yearbooks Tell Us About The Field?, Ed Mcluskie

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines what leading communication journals and yearbooks suggest about the field’s conceptual understanding of communication. It considers whether recent published research offers a general definition of communication or instead focuses on specialized topics without connecting them to an overall conception of the field. The article describes a content analysis of selected association publications and classifies articles as generic, partial, or outside the phenomenon of communication. It finds that most published work addresses limited areas of inquiry or methodological concerns rather than broad conceptual definitions. The article situates these findings within debates about communication research, disciplinary identity, and the …

Defining The Field Of Communication: The Abca Organizational Perspective, R. Jon Ackley

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

An organizational perspective on business communication is presented through the membership, governance, committee work, publications, conventions, and stated purposes of a professional association devoted to business communication education and research. The article describes the association as a forum connecting academic, business, industry, and international members while supporting curriculum, research, teaching methods, company training, and outreach programs. It explains business communication as a pragmatic area concerned with written and oral communication skills, communication theory, workplace effectiveness, and instruction across business, English, speech, and related academic units. The article also notes a growing interest in theory, organizational behavior, and the effects of …

Evaluation Of Faculty Creative Productivity In Broadcasting And Film: Policies And Practices In Twenty Major Institutions, Robert E. Davis

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines how creative productivity in broadcasting and film is treated within faculty evaluation for salary review, retention, promotion, and tenure. It describes institutional and departmental policies that recognize creative work as comparable to traditional scholarship, while also noting uneven confidence in applying those policies across administrative levels. The article reviews accepted forms of creative work, including film, television, video, scripts, audio production, computer graphics, and related production roles. It also discusses recurring challenges in documenting creative activity, identifying appropriate reviewers, judging quality, and weighing public or juried recognition. The article situates these issues within communication administration and faculty …

Evaluation Of Artistic Work For Purposes Of Faculty Reappointment, Promotion, And Tenure, Roy V. Wood

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

The article addresses faculty evaluation procedures for creative faculty, especially theatre faculty, in reappointment, promotion, and tenure decisions. Framed from an administrative perspective, it reviews criteria for teaching, disciplinary contribution, and service, while emphasizing that creative faculty should receive systematic review comparable to colleagues in more traditional scholarly fields. The discussion distinguishes classroom and campus production work from peer reviewed creative activity, then considers several ways to document artistic achievement. These include publication about creative practice, professional work beyond the university, and structured outside review of campus productions. The article situates artistic evaluation within communication administration by stressing clear standards, …

An Unacceptable Analog, Jeffrey Huberman

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Centered on theatre faculty evaluation, this article critiques a proposed analog for treating creative endeavor as equivalent to scholarship. It argues that the model is too narrow for academic theatre because it focuses mainly on directors while giving limited attention to actors, designers, and technologists. The discussion questions whether creativity should serve as the central criterion for evaluating theatre production, especially when directing may be understood as interpretive rather than primarily creative. It also examines how student performers, limited budgets, academic calendars, and campus facilities shape theatre work in higher education. Further concerns include the practicality and cost of outside …

Lepers In Academe--Arts Educators At Tenure And Promotion Time, Paul Antonie Distler

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Written from an arts administration perspective, this article addresses strategies for presenting theatre and arts educators in tenure and promotion review. It argues that administrators must work within existing academic systems while helping colleagues outside the arts understand creative labor, professional practice, and artistic achievement. The discussion identifies three areas of preparation, including administrative acceptance and support, counseling faculty about expectations, and building persuasive dossiers. Recommended practices include sharing national arts education statements, documenting production labor, developing professional evaluations, encouraging outside artistic work, and presenting candidate materials in formats legible to reviewers from other disciplines. The article situates arts faculty …
