Who's Mr. Staff: Cheap Labor Or Valued Resource?, Rhonda Kekke
Who's Mr. Staff: Cheap Labor Or Valued Resource?, Rhonda Kekke
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article examines the expanding reliance on part time faculty in community colleges and evaluates its implications for instructional quality, institutional priorities, and the academic profession. It situates the rise of adjunct employment within the economic pressures and enrollment growth of the 1970s, noting a shift from hiring specialized community experts to employing academically credentialed instructors who sought full time positions but entered contingent roles due to limited full time hiring. While acknowledging benefits of adjunct specialization, the discussion highlights concerns about diminished instructional resources, reduced faculty availability, and weakened institutional integration among part time instructors. A review of national …
The Use And Abuse Of Part-Time Faculty, Wendy L. Wilson
The Use And Abuse Of Part-Time Faculty, Wendy L. Wilson
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article explores the benefits and challenges associated with part time faculty positions in higher education, emphasizing the structural inequities that shape adjunct employment and its consequences for morale, instructional quality, and institutional life. While acknowledging intrinsic rewards such as teaching fulfillment, personal development, and professional exposure, the discussion underscores the material and symbolic disadvantages that accompany contingent appointments. Core concerns include low pay, limited access to benefits, absence of advancement incentives, exclusion from departmental governance, and insufficient orientation and logistical support. The analysis highlights how these conditions contribute to disillusionment, weakened commitment, and diminished teaching motivation. Proposed strategies for …

Part-Time Faculty: Properly Using And Not Abusing, Anita Taylor
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article examines appropriate and inappropriate institutional uses of part time faculty, emphasizing the value of contingent instructors while cautioning against employment practices that undermine educational quality and equity. It identifies several legitimate functions for part time appointments, including graduate assistantships with adequate supervision, specialized professional instruction, staffing flexibility in response to enrollment variability, and roles for retired faculty or individuals seeking shared positions. The discussion also highlights practices that warrant scrutiny, such as using part time teaching as an informal audition for full time positions or enabling moonlighting across nearby institutions, both of which may narrow applicant pools and …

The Argument From Setting: Theatre In The Liberal And Fine Arts, John Gronbeck-Tedesco
The Argument From Setting: Theatre In The Liberal And Fine Arts, John Gronbeck-Tedesco
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This essay analyzes how the institutional setting of theatre programs within either the liberal arts or the fine arts shapes the assumptions guiding administrative argument and decision making. The author contends that academic leadership operates through the exchange of reasoned claims and that coherent argumentation requires shared first principles. Program location provides such grounding by offering distinct philosophical orientations for justifying resources, curriculum, and program direction. The essay distinguishes liberal arts education as centered on generating interpretive knowledge about the human condition through evidence based inquiry, while fine arts education focuses on creating artistic analogues of human experience that communicate …
The Practical Issues, Vincent L. Angotti
The Practical Issues, Vincent L. Angotti
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This essay examines the practical consequences of locating theatre programs within liberal arts or fine arts academic structures. It argues that institutional placement is often determined by historical and administrative convenience rather than coherent philosophy, yet this placement significantly shapes power, resource allocation, and evaluation standards. The discussion contrasts liberal arts environments, where theatre is justified as part of broader humanistic education and cost pressures are diffused across large colleges, with fine arts settings, where vocational preparation dominates and theatre units face intensified budget scrutiny. Faculty evaluation challenges emerge in both contexts, particularly in balancing scholarly and creative work and …
Arts Funding, Patrick D. Mcdonough
Arts Funding, Patrick D. Mcdonough
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This essay offers practical guidance for funding the arts from the vantage point of a foundation administrator. It argues that effective strategies focus on local and state level funders rather than a small group of national foundations, noting that there are about twenty two thousand American foundations, only one hundred forty four with assets above fifty million dollars, and that most concentrate on needs close to home. The discussion urges partnership with regional corporations that link giving to marketing and public responsibility, and it recommends formal preparation through Council for the Advancement and Support of Education training and a two …
Funding For The Arts: Legislative Sources, Robert J. Wills
Funding For The Arts: Legislative Sources, Robert J. Wills
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article examines the process through which state legislatures fund public higher education and considers its implications for support of the arts. Focusing exclusively on state appropriations and excluding local, federal, and philanthropic sources, the analysis explains the central role of formula budgeting in determining institutional funding levels. Using Texas as a representative case, it outlines the multiple formulas that define institutional cost categories and describes how student credit hours, enrollment levels, and faculty student ratios determine budget allocations. The essay traces the multiyear sequence of study committees, coordinating board review, gubernatorial recommendation, and legislative action that culminates in appropriations. …
Speech Communication Profession As Seen By A President, Donald W. Zacharias
Speech Communication Profession As Seen By A President, Donald W. Zacharias
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This essay offers a university president’s assessment of the speech communication discipline and outlines challenges facing academic programs as higher education enters a period of intensified competition and financial constraint. The author notes substantial scholarly growth over the preceding two decades, marked by increased publication and methodological rigor. The discussion emphasizes that declining enrollments, limited state support, and heightened institutional competition will require departments to articulate clear objectives aligned with institutional missions and to demonstrate measurable value to students and administrators. Recommendations include narrowing curricula to avoid unfocused expansion, establishing rigorous instructional standards, prioritizing individualized communication skills training supported by …
Presidents Look At The Field Of Speech Communication: A Commentary, Donald Smith
Presidents Look At The Field Of Speech Communication: A Commentary, Donald Smith
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This commentary responds to essays by two university presidents on the condition of the speech communication discipline. The author affirms concerns about the field’s longstanding struggle to define a coherent intellectual identity, noting that communication emerged historically as a coalition of underrecognized instructional areas rather than through shared conceptual foundations. While acknowledging that disciplinary ambiguity is not unique in academia and may coexist with creativity and public appeal, the essay questions whether ambiguity can remain viable amid changing higher education environments. The author critiques tendencies toward imitative scholarship and excessive methodological debate at the expense of substantive inquiry into rhetorical …
The Ritz Bar Or Abd: In Defense Of The Mfa, Peter Garvie
The Ritz Bar Or Abd: In Defense Of The Mfa, Peter Garvie
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This essay argues that the Master of Fine Arts is an appropriate terminal degree for university theatre faculty and challenges the claim that the Doctor of Philosophy represents a superior credential. The author emphasizes the realities of limited employment opportunities in both academic and professional theatre and contends that neither degree guarantees entry into those markets. The essay distinguishes the MFA as an advanced practice degree grounded in performance and production, whereas the PhD certifies research competence and does not necessarily attest to teaching or creative skill. Conservatory style training within a liberal arts setting is presented as legitimate and …
A Rationale For Developing Communication Training Programs, Dan B. Curtis, Steven A. Beebe, Deems M. Brooks
A Rationale For Developing Communication Training Programs, Dan B. Curtis, Steven A. Beebe, Deems M. Brooks
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article argues for the intentional development of communication training programs within higher education to meet expanding industry demand for communication skilled employees and trainers. The authors document substantial growth in training and development initiatives across business, government, and industrial sectors, citing national surveys and reports identifying communication as a consistently critical competency for managerial effectiveness and employee performance. They outline core communication abilities valued by employers, including oral and written communication, listening, persuasion, interpersonal relations, small group leadership, and problem solving. The discussion identifies persistent barriers in academic settings, such as disciplinary stereotypes, lack of faculty preparation in adult …
Curriculum Implications Of The New Technologies, Frederick Williams
Curriculum Implications Of The New Technologies, Frederick Williams
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
This article examines the curricular implications of emerging communication technologies, emphasizing that the central concern within the communication discipline remains the study of human use and social impacts of technological systems rather than their mechanical features. It argues that new media function primarily as extensions of existing forms, particularly as telecommunications and computing converge, enabling greater informational access, individualized communication, and distributed decision making. Rather than creating entirely new courses, the article proposes revising current communication curricula to reflect changes in media environments. Key areas for integration include the shift from mass communication to demassification through narrowcasting and text services, …
