Safe Places, Fair Practices, Trust: Sexual Harassment In Communication And Theatre, Robert J. Wills

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses the role of school administrators in addressing sexual harassment in theater and communication programs. On college and university campuses, by and large, men have power. Women on campus by and large trust these men who have power. The trust in such a relationship is precious, built over time through consistency, responsiveness and mutual concerns. Sexual harassment breaks that trust, destroys it completely, and in the process wounds those who are involved. The 9 to 5 organization has concluded that a strong policy is the best way to combat sexual harassment. A written policy easily becomes both the …

Communication Education Transformations: Implications For Curricular Change, Chris R. Sawyer, Phyllis Miller, Ralph R. Behnke

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article explores the implications of communication education transformations for curricular change in the U.S. Differences in education and training between public relations (PR) practitioners and journalists reflect, in part, effects of certain pressures brought to bear upon these professions. Any edge which graduates may have in the marketplace will depend on the extent to which their communication programs have focused on initial detection and measurement of related talents, skill development and enhancement, and discovery of communication-related careers that depend on the integration and application of these skills. With respect to faculty placement, infusing PR faculty into existing communication programs …

Encouraging Undergraduate Scholarship: Institutional Strategies, Kevin L. Hutchinson

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article explores the various institutional strategies for encouraging undergraduate scholarship in the U.S. The student faculty grants, research stipends and scholarships require that the institution commit financial resources or commit resources to secure financial support from one or more outside agencies through creative grant writing. Suggestions pertaining to Lambda Pi Eta and internal internships probably require the least amount of institutional support. There are two proposed conditions for the research teams concept to be successful. First, there must be a commitment by all faculty to engage in research. Second, the faculty research interest must lend itself to collaborative research.

Alternative Career Opportunities, Or, Don't Sell Yourself Short!, David Balthrop

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article will attempt to discuss who is making an attempt to prepare their students for work outside of the field of study; pose the question of whose responsibility is it for preparing those students: faculty, universities and colleges, or the students themselves. In a survey sent out to all colleges and universities in Kentucky, only a small percentage (fewer than 3%) of the surveys returned acknowledged any help in the form of organized, structured post-graduation job opportunity discussions. All the forms returned indicated that the students wanted and needed that type of instruction. In order to locate other job …

Successful Recruitment Of Minority Faculty: Commitment, Culture, Choice, Robert M. Smith

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article offers suggestions that help committed and concerned faculty and administration successfully recruit faculty of color to their departments. Commitment is hard work. Race is an issue on every campus to some degree and becoming a growing problem on most. There is no magical solution, no multicultural inoculation, nor mass confessional purge of imbedded feelings, beliefs, and superstitions. Changing racial prejudice or predispositions among people is hard work. Climate is the accumulation of the attitudes and behaviors toward inclusion on campus. Everyone on campus is both a contributor and product of the climate. Other approaches to shape the climate …

To Be Young, Gifted, And Out Of Work, Mark Malinauskas

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses job search strategy. Devising a job hunting strategy may be the hardest work you do in your entire career. The most immediate task is the creation of a personal inventory.

Determining Reasonable Accommodations For The Learning Impaired: New Issues For Able-Bodied Communication Administrators, Craig Newburger

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses issues surrounding able-bodied communication administrators. The first issue confronting communication educators involves the nature of interactions with disabled students. Such students may be reluctant to disclose their personal circumstances to their instructors, even when a campus student counseling services office arms them with explanatory documents intended to affirm their sincerity and disarm the potential for them to feel embarrassed. Some learning impaired students have been isolated, misunderstood, and stigmatized, thus, the simplest act of communicating may become fraught with anxiety. The second issue confronting communication educators involves how sensitive we are to the broad nature of what …

The Impact Of School District Mergers On Library Media Programs In Selected Iowa School Districts, Sandra Huemann-Kelly

Graduate Research Papers

With the current trend Iowa of school districts whole-grade sharing (WGS) with another school district followed by merging, the author examined the impact of such reorganization activities on library media programs in selected school districts. The case study approach was utilized to examine five districts. The author believed that changes occurred as a result in library media centers with most change discernible at the time WGS commenced rather than at the time of full merger. The first hypothesis was supported by evidence of change in library media centers in the areas of facilities, personnel, collections, finances and library media services. …
