A Communication Model Of Sexual Harassment, Mark Hickson Iii, R. D. Grierson, Barbara C. Linder

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article constructs a communication centered model of sexual harassment that situates discriminatory behavior within workplace discourse and higher education culture.

The model explains how negative messages escalate, how psychological and economic consequences unfold, and why institutional policies often falter.

Faculty Perceptions Of Publication Expectations In The Small College Setting: Have The Rules Changed?, Bonnie Wilson Buzza

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines publication expectations in small college environments, describing survey data that compare faculty and dean perspectives on scholarship, tenure, promotion, and merit. Results indicate that respondents perceive at least a moderate, increasing need to publish, although faculty sense stronger pressure than administrators. Both groups rank conference papers and discipline currency as central evidence of scholarship, yet diverge on the value of journal articles, grant activity, and horizontal versus vertical research. Self imposed motivation emerges as the dominant driver, while promotion and tenure committees and administrative units exert additional influence. Chemistry and psychology are seen as the fields with …

The Collegiality Model: An Alternative For Evaluating Faculty Productivity, Richard A. Katula, Agnes Doody

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article proposes a collegiality model to replace the publish or perish paradigm that dominates faculty productivity evaluation in higher education. Drawing on organizational communication and scholarship studies, it critiques traditional reliance on publication counts, journal scarcity, and unequal reward structures that undervalue teaching, service, and creative inquiry. The collegiality model reconceives productivity as faculty presence, integrating classroom effectiveness, broad scholarly activity, community engagement, grant acquisition, and research whether or not it reaches print. Annual consultations with department chairs produce individualized workload profiles that balance institutional goals with personal strengths, supported by transparent assessment tools for teaching and scholarly contributions. …

A Review Of The Public Relations Courses Offered In Departments Of Colleges And Universities, Bonita Dostal Neff

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article reviews United States university catalogs to map public relations curriculum across academic disciplines. Content analysis identifies communication departments as the principal locus of course offerings, outpacing journalism, business, mass communication, and interdisciplinary units. Although journalism and mass communication once were presumed dominant, findings reveal substantial growth within liberal arts based communication programs, including robust five course sequences that meet professional accreditation guidelines. The study also shows that most programs are administratively situated in liberal arts colleges rather than journalism schools, challenging prevailing assumptions in national commission reports. By comparing departmental titles, administrative homes, and the prevalence of internship …

Administrative Support For Paid Media Consulting In Journalism Education, David C. Couison

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article investigates administrative support for paid media consulting within journalism education, situating consulting in the broader context of faculty professional development and institutional governance. Employing a national survey of heads of journalism and mass communication programs, the study maps policy provisions, administrative attitudes, and the prevalence of consulting among tenure track educators across public and private universities. Descriptive and inferential analyses reveal that most administrators view consulting as beneficial, actively encourage it, and implement policies emphasizing prior approval and disclosure, yet supportive policies do not necessarily increase consulting rates. Consulting is most common among senior, tenured professors, and more …

A Case For Exclusive Sections Of The Basic Oral Communication Course: International Esl Students, Robert C. Dick Aug 1990

A Case For Exclusive Sections Of The Basic Oral Communication Course: International Esl Students, Robert C. Dick

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article argues that assigning exclusive sections of the foundational oral communication course to international students using English as a second language fosters stronger participation, language proficiency, and academic integration. Drawing on national enrollment reports, classroom discourse research, and questionnaire evidence from ESL enrollees, the discussion compares exclusive and mixed section formats, highlighting how language anxiety, cultural turn taking norms, and instructor calling patterns limit involvement when learners are mainstreamed. Exclusive grouping, the analysis shows, increases peer supported negotiation of meaning, expands speaking time, and enables instructors to tailor interactive tasks in public speaking, interviewing, discussion, and debate that accelerate …

This article interrogates the relationship between academic freedom and editorial decision making in speech communication journals, situating the debate within the historical framework of the 1940 AAUP statement. Through reflective analysis of submission protocols, referee correspondence, and controversial exemplars, the discussion reveals how gatekeeping practices, including methodological orthodoxy, political sensitivity, and implicit sexism, can constrain intellectual diversity before administrative sanctions ever arise.
