The Politics Of Survival At Home: Bargaining Power On Campus, Don B. Morlan Jan 1984

The Politics Of Survival At Home: Bargaining Power On Campus, Don B. Morlan

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Drawing on department chair experience, this article argues that communication departments must recognize and improve their political standing within colleges and universities. It contends that departments often generate substantial enrollment and tuition revenue while still lacking disciplinary credibility and bargaining power. The article proposes a curricular model that requires communication majors to complete structured course blocs in other departments rather than relying on loosely distributed electives. The model is justified as broad preparation for applied communication careers and as a way to make other academic units invested in communication program health. By linking curriculum design, student preparation, and campus politics, …

Should Community College Instructors Publish?, Judy H. Goldberg, Alvin A. Goldberg

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Written as a position piece on scholarship in two year institutions, this article argues that community college instructors should publish when they have worthwhile ideas to share, but should not be required or expected to publish as a condition of their role.

The article distinguishes scholarly responsibility from institutional obligation, noting that publication may be personally valuable but often falls outside community college mission, reward structures, and faculty workload expectations.

The article recommends that evaluators first understand the educational purpose and professional philosophy behind a program, then assess whether program activities advance sound instructional objectives.

Response To “One Step Beyond”, Donald W. Zacharias Jan 1984

Response To “One Step Beyond”, Donald W. Zacharias

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

A response essay evaluates a prior argument calling for communication departments to connect disciplinary concepts more directly to marketable skills, career development, and workplace applications.

The essay supports critical review of curricula and faculty reward systems, but recommends a broader strategic planning process before departments make major changes. That process includes examining social, economic, and political conditions, assessing departmental and institutional values, and reviewing available human, fiscal, and technical resources. The piece situates curriculum reform …
