It distinguishes stress, strain, generativity, and burnout, presenting a staged model in which pressures may lead from stress to strain and exhaustion unless moderated by coping orientations and coping actions. The discussion treats administrator burnout as a special case of the stress cycle, linking it to frustrated commitments, reduced efficiency, withdrawal, maintenance patterns, and exhaustion. It reviews personal and social resources associated with coping, including perceived control, personal orientation, interpersonal orientation, support systems, and stress management options. The article also considers organizational responses for communication administration, …

Collective Bargaining And Academic Administration: The Significant Overlap, Albert Lewis

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the overlap between collective bargaining and academic administration in communication departments. It uses a four process model of labor negotiation to compare bargaining work with departmental leadership, focusing on distributive bargaining, integrative bargaining, attitudinal structuring, and intraorganizational bargaining. The discussion connects negotiation over scarce resources with administrative decisions about equipment, faculty positions, operating funds, and program priorities. It also considers how problem solving, cooperation, trust, and legitimacy shape both contract administration and departmental governance. The article emphasizes the boundary role faced by negotiators and chairpersons, who must represent constituencies while working with external decision makers. It suggests …

The discussion links these principles to communication administration by emphasizing consensus, quality circles, departmental self study, consumer definitions of program quality, and long range planning. It also addresses hiring, evaluation, rewards, recognition, and the influence of individual interests on departmental objectives. The article closes by discussing trust, subtlety, and intimacy as interpersonal foundations for management, …

It reports patterns in departmental naming, relationships with business, English, psychology, political science, and journalism, common courses taken by nonmajors and majors, changing emphases in broadcasting, public relations, organizational communication, and related areas, and reported career paths for graduates. The discussion also identifies internships, faculty contacts, alumni contacts, and résumé assistance as strategies used to …

Speech Communication Instruction: An Interdisciplinary Assessment, Paul E. Wenger, Robert M. Fischbach

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Addressing interdisciplinary cooperation in communication education, this article discusses obstacles and practical possibilities for linking speech communication instruction with English composition. It situates the issue within departmental traditions, curricular authority, faculty appointments, enrollment pressures, and earlier efforts to connect communication with other fields. The discussion then describes a local arrangement in which fundamentals of speech communication and English composition were scheduled in consecutive hours, required simultaneous registration, and coordinated assignments without changing course listings, faculty loads, or formal departmental structures. Shared themes included outlining, message organization, audience analysis, research, language, speaking, and writing. The article presents the arrangement as an …

A Different View Of Lobbying In The States For Speech Programs, John F. Deethardt

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Focusing on political advocacy for speech programs, this article critiques reliance on paid lobbyists and argues for member based legislative networks within professional associations. It frames political participation as a civic responsibility closely tied to speech communication, suggesting that communication teachers should use disciplinary skills to influence public policy and strengthen collective action. The discussion uses state association activity as a starting point, then contrasts expert driven lobbying with participatory communication networks modeled on other professional organizations. It outlines practical elements of a legislative network, including contact structures, messages, congressional profiles, association documents, legislative summaries, networker responsibilities, and public relations …

Rediscovering The Joys Of Teaching, Joan E. Shields-Kole, Judy Goldberg, J. Atman Hutchinson

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Organized as a practical guide for communication teachers, this article addresses burnout, boredom, stress, and detachment in teaching. It identifies symptoms such as predictable routines, technical monologue, overused verbal patterns, absenteeism, and health related stress responses, then links these difficulties to unmet role related needs. The article presents a chart of needs, actions, and effects designed to help teachers regain perspective, alleviate boredom, get off the treadmill, test what they teach, gain rewards, remain adaptable, and take professional risks. Suggested actions include varying routines, team teaching, changing course design, seeking feedback, writing, joining committees, trying new teaching environments, and confronting …

Recruiting Communication Majors: Tools Used By Selected College And University Departments Of Communication, Claudia L. Hale, Dennis E. Warnemunde

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Using survey responses from non-doctoral speech communication departments, this article examines departmental involvement in recruiting undergraduate and graduate communication majors. It situates recruitment within declining enrollments, changing labor markets, and concerns about how marketing may shape academic identity. The study asks whether departments are actively involved in recruitment and which tools they use. Findings suggest that many departments reported stable or increasing enrollments, often connected to mass communication offerings, flexible curricula, career orientation, and departmental reputation. Common recruitment tools included mailers, high school visits, phone contacts, forensic programs, advising, and advertising. The article emphasizes that departments should participate directly in …

Campus And Community Graduate Assistant Programs, Gerald V. Flannery

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Amid reductions in federal and state support, this report describes a communication department strategy for expanding graduate assistantship funding through campus and community partnerships. The department solicited nonprofit organizations, selected businesses, and university units with communication related needs, offering graduate students’ assistance with public relations, speeches, news releases, photography, brochures, newsletters, and related tasks. The report explains how tuition and fee waivers, university foundation donations, and tax deductible contributions could support assistantships while benefiting participating agencies and campus offices. It presents the Community Program as a way to diversify support beyond normal graduate school funding and notes early pledges, future …

The Use Of Feuerstein’S Instrumental Enrichment With Underprepared College Students: A Pilot Study, Michael Kieta

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

This pilot study investigated the usage of Feuerstein’s (1980) Instrumental Enrichment with underprepared college students. Open admissions policies in colleges and universities have resulted in the enrollment of many students who are underprepared to meet the academic task demands. Courses have been developed by the colleges and universities to remediate the academic deficits of underprepared students. Remedial courses using traditional educational methods have been largely ineffective. Cognitive process instruction (CPI) is an area of educational research that recently began to receive increased attention in the field of remedial education. The goal of CPI has been to develop the cognitive/thought processes …
