The Big Click: Burnout And The University Td, William R. Peeler
The Big Click: Burnout And The University Td, William R. Peeler
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This empirical study investigates professional burnout among university technical directors and designers, a population often neglected in research on faculty stress. Using a nationwide mailed questionnaire distributed to 373 faculty members listed in a directory of design and technical theatre staff, the study achieved a 61 percent response rate, with 83 percent of respondents reporting burnout at some point in their careers. Analysis of survey data reveals that burnout is pervasive but multifactorial, arising from excessive workload, inadequate recognition, limited peer support, and undervaluation of technical contributions within academic hierarchies. Although respondents frequently cited long hours and production pressures, the …

The Oxford Accord: Further Guidelines For Evaluation And Implementation, Beverley Byers-Pevitts
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This essay extends the discussion of the “Guidelines for Evaluating Teacher/Artists for Promotion and Tenure,” emphasizing the need for consistent implementation and further refinement of evaluation procedures within theatre programs. It situates the Oxford Accord within a broader effort by professional associations to establish equitable standards for assessing creative and pedagogical work in higher education. The analysis identifies two primary objectives: developing comprehensive guidelines for evaluation and ensuring their effective institutional application. The author argues that evaluation must encompass both process and product, recognizing that artistic success cannot be judged solely by outcomes but must consider the educational and creative …

The Tenuring Of Technical Theatre Faculty: A Call For Assistance, Donald L. Loeffler
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This essay examines the inequitable standards and institutional inconsistencies affecting the tenure and promotion of technical theatre faculty, using Western Carolina University as a case example. It outlines the university’s policies requiring terminal degrees for tenure-track appointments and highlights the undervaluation of creative and technical work relative to scholarly publication. Despite departmental acknowledgment of creative activity as equivalent to research, university-level decisions consistently privilege traditional academic outputs, leaving technical faculty vulnerable to exclusion or demotion. The author describes cases where qualified designers were denied advancement despite exceptional performance and professional recognition, emphasizing the structural biases embedded in faculty evaluation systems. …
The Evaluation Of Creative Activity: A Definition And Measurement, I. Joe Filippo
The Evaluation Of Creative Activity: A Definition And Measurement, I. Joe Filippo
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This essay proposes a framework for defining and assessing creative activity in theatre as an evaluative equivalent to scholarly publication in tenure, promotion, and retention decisions. It argues that administrative difficulty in valuing artistic work stems from a lack of standardized measures and conceptual clarity. The author defines creative activity broadly to include the work of actors, directors, designers, playwrights, and technicians engaged in theatrical or related productions. Evaluation is divided into quantitative and qualitative components. Quantitative measures involve documenting time invested and tangible artifacts such as prompt books, renderings, and production notes, which parallel research outputs in other disciplines. …
Tenuring Our Designers And Theatre Technologists, August W. Staub, Sylvia J. Hillyard
Tenuring Our Designers And Theatre Technologists, August W. Staub, Sylvia J. Hillyard
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This essay examines the persistent challenges facing designers and theatre technologists in achieving tenure within academic theatre programs. Drawing on administrative experience, the authors argue that attrition among design and technical faculty is not inevitable but rather the product of systemic undervaluation and misunderstanding of their artistic and pedagogical roles. They advocate recognizing these specialists as creative collaborators rather than subservient technicians, urging departments to adopt accurate professional terminology and to treat design and technology as equal to directing, acting, and playwriting. The discussion differentiates among three types of theatre programs: professional training, liberal arts based, and comprehensive, and contends …

Program Self-Evaluation, An Ongoing Process, Donald A. Drapeau
Program Self-Evaluation, An Ongoing Process, Donald A. Drapeau
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article argues that program self evaluation should function as a continuous administrative practice rather than an episodic accreditation exercise. Prompted by shifts such as faculty departures, enrollment changes, and adjustments to general education requirements, the process begins with a mission statement authored and endorsed by all members of the program. The statement specifies aims suited to local conditions, including the relation between classroom instruction and production, the appropriate number and scale of performances, and the level of financial support required. Self evaluation then examines the relation among three components. These are program expectations, financial and physical resources, and human …

Program Evaluation In A Major University, Annabel Dunham Hagood
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article describes the development of systematic review and planning processes at the University of Alabama in the early 1980s under President Joab Thomas. In response to calls for accountability and clearer institutional priorities, the university implemented three interrelated mechanisms: a five year cycle of divisional and departmental program and leadership reviews, an academic program review aligned with state level criteria for quality, utility, and efficiency, and an institution wide five year planning process. The program and leadership reviews combine faculty driven evaluation of curricula, scholarship, student quality, resources, and internal management with confidential recommendations on leadership continuation. The academic …

Program Evaluation In Undergraduate Only Institutions, Beverly Reynolds
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article examines program evaluation from the perspective of a community college communication program, contrasting conditions at undergraduate only institutions with those at universities. The discussion identifies distinctive faculty characteristics, including small departmental size, geographic isolation, generalist teaching demands, heavy instructional loads, and limited emphasis on research. It emphasizes the need for faculty involvement in advising and cocurricular activities as well as participation in peer review and shared governance. Student demographics are described as heterogeneous, older, and often part time, with many entering through open admissions and possessing varied communication preparedness. The article outlines multiple motivations for evaluation such as …
