Prospective Impact Of Responsibility Center Budgeting On Communication And Theatre Programs: View From A State Supported University, Robert C. Dick

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article examines the impact of responsibility center budgeting (RCB) on communication and theatre programs in a state supported university. While some operational differences exist, it generally can be said that, in RCB, part or all tuition and sponsored research revenues are returned to a unit in direct proportion to what is earned. The unit controls its own pricing policy and is responsible for payment of all, or nearly all, of its costs. Surpluses remain with the unit; deficits must be made up by the unit in succeeding periods. The incentive to efficient production of what the market demands is …

A Multi-Disciplinary Approach To Cultural Learning Through Cable Television, John F. Dillon, Sheila C. Crifasi

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article examines a multi-disciplinary approach to cultural learning through cable television. In the U.S., television current affairs programming is now being used in place of conventional textbooks in those subject areas dealing with rapidly unfolding world developments, such as history and political science. While it may take years to revise a traditional textbook, college educators are relying on the quickness of television--as well as print mass media--to help their students comprehend dynamic global events. In 1989, recognizing their own potential as an educational resource, major cable companies and programmers created Cable in the Classroom to help K-to-12th grade educators …

A Survey Of Communication Department Curriculum In Four-Year Colleges And Universities, June H. Smith, Patricia H. Turner

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article presents a survey of communication department curriculum in four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. Excellent communication skills are tantamount to success in education. A review of current education journals reveals the variety of communication skills needed by professional educators, including interpersonal communication, small group meetings, interviewing, basic communication theory, research methodology, teaching methods in speech communication, public speaking, performance of literature, media, and a teaching internship. Social science literature reveals several communication needs for social science practitioners, including anthropologists, psychologists, psychiatrists, sociologists, lawyers, journalists, advertising practitioners, political scientists, human relations practitioners, and mass media personnel. Those communication …

After Hazelwood: Free Speech Constraints And Theatre Programs, Bob Frank

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article addresses the question of what constitutional constraints govern the lives of academic theatre teacher/directors in the U.S. by highlight the case of the Southwest Missouri State University's theatre program. Although theatre artists and teachers seldom settle their controversies in the courts, the courts have established a body of judicial doctrine that is relevant to the administrator of academic theatre. Questions such as what should drama teachers, directors and administrators know about the legal limits of their freedom of expression? Conversely, what are the limitations imposed by the courts on administrative officials regarding their ability to control or regulate …

Teach Them Something They Can Use, Pamela H. Sellers

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses the necessary education, skill and preparations a prospective law student should acquire. It is well established that the legal education focuses more on mastery of a method of thinking than on mastery of the subject matter. The substantive law is a twisting, turning, mutating thing whose interpretation and application may be subject to the whims, prejudices, or perversities of judges and juries. It cannot be fully known. The best that a good lawyer can do is to anticipate these whims, prejudices, and perversities and attempt to neutralize or counter whichever interpretations of the law may be adverse …

Unlocking Creativity In Actors: Inhibiting Factors, Brant L. Pope

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article attempts to examine the nature of imagination and creativity in the acting process. It argues that successful acting is the ability to extend the imagination into the creative act of developing a role and building a character. Of particular concern will be the identification of significant personal, social and professional factors that tend to inhibit the creative process. It will close with some observations about the work of Jose Quintero of the Asolo Conservatory, in terms of the specific ways in which he inspires creativity in our actors. It is important to differentiate imagination and creativity. Imagination is …

Scholarship Reconsidered: Role Definition And Its Impact On The Faculty, Gary T. Hunt

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article addresses issues concerning the role of faculty members in U.S. universities and colleges. With external pressures coming from state legislators and accrediting bodies, all of which are aimed at the role of the individual faculty member, many both on the inside and the outside of the university are expressing opinions about the work life of the faculty member. In fact, one might even be so bold as to suggest that everything we have traditionally accepted about scholarship is now up for grabs. This unstable environment has heaped added pressure upon the individual faculty member, who may well be …

Departmental Textbook Publishing For The Introductory Communication Course: Pedagogical Boon Or Exploitation?, Craig Newburger, Robert Smith, Linda Pledger

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article details the benefits and liabilities associated with departmental introductory communication course (ICC) textbook publishing as they are related to both the national publishing house and local commercial printer options. A number of national textbook publishers are actively involved in the production and marketing of locally authored campus-specific ICC texts and related workbooks. Such publishers offer national exposure through their textbook marketing programs and, correspondingly, absorb publicity and other-campus marketing costs. Meanwhile, a departmental desktop publishing software can be used to write, edit, design and present a camera-ready ICC text manuscript to a local commercial printer. The use of …

Scholarship Reconsidered: A Reflection, Ronald L. Applbaum

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article reflects on the book Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate, by Ernest Boyer. Scholarship Reconsidered was an attempt by Boyer to redefine the role of the professoriate in terms of the concept of scholarship as perceived and enacted within the academy. The purpose of the special report was to provide a clearer meaning of scholarship within the academy itself. He recognized that the mission of U.S. higher education had changed dramatically over the past four decades. And, yet, the expectations of the professoriate held by the members within the academy, that is, faculty and administrators, had not always …

Important Components Of An Effective Assessment Program, Mary Lou Higgerson

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article describes the components that are characteristic of effective assessment program. Assessment of student learning outcomes is setting new records as a fast growing nationwide initiative. Experts such as T. Dary Erwin, Director of Student Assessment at James Madison University, reference the "first wave" of institutions who made "early commitments to establish assessment programs and became national pioneers." Alvemo College, the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, and Northeast Missouri State University are the three institutions usually credited as leading this first wave. It is important to note, however, that these pioneering efforts only began in the early 1980s, just …

Academic Theatre And The Law, John C. Countryman

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article offers evidence of how law pertains to the management of theatre programs and argues that to accept the common characterization of the law as an instrument of social control or as the science of social problem-solving is to ignore the larger intellectual life it affords. Whether we acknowledge it or not, those of us who administer theatre programs are engaged in an activity that is informed by and subject to the legal imagination and the culture of argument it creates. In 1990 the Carnegie Foundation published a report entitled Campus Life: In Search of Community. The report chronicles …

Empowering The Individual: The Concept Of Individual Freedom In Theatre Education, James Thomas

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article aims to reexamine the principles of professional responsibility developed by organizations such as the National Association of Schools Theatre, the National Endowment for the Arts and others, and to reconsider them in relation to specific pressing contemporary moral issues. Theatre practitioners who attempt to lead moral lives have always been concerned with ethics. Throughout Stanislavski's books and notes, for example, is the sense that the question of ethics occupied him throughout his professional life. In fact, he was so strongly committed to the highest ethical values that he endorsed the use of autocratic discipline to achieve his goals. …

The Role Of Creativity In Theatre Education, Lawrence Broglio

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses the role of creativity in theatre education. As we examine and define the terms of this thesis, let us examine educational theatre without limiting ourselves to the narrower framework of Theatre Education as in teacher training program. Let us consider the wider stage, the arena of educating the scholar, the student and the educator as creative artist. On that stage let us examine the production by and among scholars, poets, students and faculty using all their faculties in an artistic, collaborative, creative evolution. Not to deny teacher training, but to include it. In support of Theatre Education …

Scholarship Reconsidered: The Changing Reward System, Kenneth E. Andersen

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article proposes a paradigm shift in the reward system within the U.S. higher education. The thesis of the paper is that changing the reward system to respond to the current criticism of higher education being voiced in the larger society and manifest in legislative actions in reducing funds available to higher education and efforts to monitor or control certain aspects of the higher education process--accountability, outcome measures, workload studies, hours of classroom contact--to a degree that may be perceived as being micromanagement requires a paradigm shift by those who are within the academy. Typically one would think of a …

Scholarship Reconsidered: A Challenge To Use Teaching Portfolios To Document The Scholarship Of Teaching, Don M. Boileau

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article examines the use of teaching portfolios in documenting the scholarship of teaching in the U.S. Portfolios are generally three-ring binders that create teaching records including most often three types of materials: products of good teaching; material from oneself; materials from others. The major contribution most advocates of portfolios mention is the perceived improvement of teaching. Portfolios increase reflection and action about teaching by: giving focus on teaching as part of a professor's expected activities; encouraging faculty to seek ways to improve their teaching by attending conference meetings on teaching, reading about teaching techniques, and creating discussions about teaching …

A Tao Perspective On The Rank And Tenure Process, Lyall Crawford

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article explores certain features of the rank and tenure review process in the field of education from a Taoist perspective. There is much that can be learned from philosophical Taoism regarding rank and tenure review. Even though this Chinese philosophy seems incompatible with this ritual of academic life, it has been argued that certain concepts of Taoism can complement the personal experience of this evaluation process so that one is strengthened rather than weakened; that as an intrapersonal frame of reference, philosophical Taoism may offer a potential point of sanity. Certain texts of philosophical Taoism have been used to …

Public Relations Internships: Considerations For A Successful Program, H. W. Fulmer

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article explores the pre-graduation internship as a vital link between public relations classes and the public relations profession. Internship is a vital and necessary part of the public relations degree program. It has three major areas: academic preparation, academic structure and administrative procedures. The timing for an internship is important. A student without some basic classroom knowledge of public relations is not likely to receive the fullest benefits from his or her internship. The prospective intern should have completed a substantial part of two related areas of study prior to the internship. The success of an internship program is …

Differences Between Women Administrators And Faculty, Tracy A. Wahl, Donna R. Vocate

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article investigates the differences between women administrators and faculty at the Colorado University. Of the three groups, the faculty scored closest to an androgynous rating, the current administrators more masculine, and the former administrators the most masculine. It is important to remember that definitions of masculinity and femininity are generated by the respondent's self-perception of traits consonant with sex-role stereotypes and not by conformity to any generalized principle of masculinity or femininity. Thus, administrators perceived themselves as fitting best with stereotypical assumptions of masculine qualities, while faculty perceived themselves to fit best with androgynous characteristics.
