A Response To "A Description Of Merger Applied To The Montana State University Context", Michael Malone
A Response To "A Description Of Merger Applied To The Montana State University Context", Michael Malone
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article presents a comment on the study A Description of Merger Applied to the Montana State University Context. The argued problem with the essay is that it paints a very one-sided picture of a merger in which little as happened, in which dire threats to the Billings campus loom over the horizon, and a long suffering faculty dreads the coming Armageddon. There is valid reason for pessimism about higher education in Montana, even perhaps about the consolidation. But the effort to make the merger positive and productive only succeed if our faculty and staff give it at least a …

A Response To "A Description Of Merger Applied To The Montana State University Context", Jeff Baker
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article presents a comment on the study A Description of Merger Applied to the Montana State University Context. In simplest terms, the university system merger was designed to accomplish greater unity and effect economies of scale while guarding against mission drift. Change is disruptive but also productive if effected properly. Ultimately, restructuring success will be measured less by an organizational chart and more on our ability to build public trust, confidence and ownership in higher education.
Let's Get Political: Strategies For Departmental Survival And Growth, Isa N. Engleberg
Let's Get Political: Strategies For Departmental Survival And Growth, Isa N. Engleberg
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article reports on the seminar entitled Strengthening the Unit: Strategies for Survival and Growth, sponsored by the Association for Communication Administration (ACA). The ACA seminar on Strengthening the Unit raised the above question given recent threats to abolish or cut well-established and prestigious communication departments. The ACA seminar provided an opportunity for representatives from threatened departments to tell their stories and share their hard-learned lessons. Strong leadership is critical to a department's survival and growth. Asking faculty members to make professional development a priority is a hollow request if the leader is not an active professional. Strong and politically …

Strategies For The Communications Unit: How Can We Become Central To The University And Its Mission?, Ellen Wartella
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article presents the author's comments on reasons for the perception that communication units are not central to the University and its mission. First, our name itself is a problem. This can mean that one studies mass media, as I do, or it may refer to scholars of interpersonal communication, rhetorical analysis, cultural studies, organizational studies, or a variety of other subspecialties. Second, this lack of unity and intellectual diversity, often poses special political problems. The political battles across communication programs on campuses is only one of our on-campus political problems. Finally, perhaps at the root of our battles about …
The Study Of Communication As Preparation For Law School: A Survey Interview Study, Mollie Condra, Courtney Hudson
The Study Of Communication As Preparation For Law School: A Survey Interview Study, Mollie Condra, Courtney Hudson
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article examines the study of communication and law, particularly upon one aspect of legal preparation where effective communication skills are crucial, trial advocacy. Instead of relying on experimental research designs that typically employ mock trials, the present investigation queried practicing lawyers about the role of communication in the everyday conduct of trial procedures. Through survey interviews, the benefits of a communication education become apparent in this study. Furthermore, as the interdisciplinary appeal of communication studies becomes enhanced in this area, justification for curriculum development becomes evident.
Associate Faculty: Directing A Rich Resource Of The Basic Course, Marcia D. Dixson
Associate Faculty: Directing A Rich Resource Of The Basic Course, Marcia D. Dixson
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article offers ideas for Basic Course Director (BCD) about directing associate faculty. It is important that the BCD gives serious consideration to the processes of hiring, orienting, developing and evaluating associate faculty. Associate faculty offer many opportunities and challenges to the BCD. Because they are not traditional academics, they often bring a refreshingly different perspective to the classroom and the department. They may need mentoring to develop self-confidence, hone their teaching skills and begin to think of themselves as fully contributing members of the department. Their scheduling needs require the BCD to input different factors into the decision making …
"The Role Of The Right--A Focus On The 'Political' In 'Political Correctness'", Michael W. Shelton
"The Role Of The Right--A Focus On The 'Political' In 'Political Correctness'", Michael W. Shelton
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article focuses on the right-wing criticism to political correctness (PC). Right-wing critics of PC play a significant role in the unfolding drama of political correctness. Indeed, it would be naïve to assume that the flood of anti-PC criticism is merely the by-product of objective journalism. Much of the anti-PC rhetoric appears to be generated by political forces on the right. Many conservative critics of PC reflect the views of more rigidly political right-wing groups, employ hyperbole and generalization in their assessments of what is actually happening on college and university campuses, and contribute to the political correctness debate as …
Part-Time Faculty: Identifying The Trends And Challenges, Kathleen M. German
Part-Time Faculty: Identifying The Trends And Challenges, Kathleen M. German
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article attempts to address the issue of part-time faculty employment in the U.S. Since the early 1970's, the composition of faculty in higher education has changed dramatically. Increasingly, part-time instructors have come to dominate higher education in roles that have shifted from occasionally providing an outside specialty to regularly replacing full-time faculty members. The trends in employment of part-time faculty members reflect the attempts of institutions of higher education to cope with the financial and demographic crises of the past twenty years. The challenge of the future is to integrate part-time faculty, tapping their talents and energies, while providing …
The Basic Course In Organizational Communication: A National Survey, Donald Treadwell, Ronald L. Applbaum
The Basic Course In Organizational Communication: A National Survey, Donald Treadwell, Ronald L. Applbaum
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article presents a study on the basic organizational communication course in the U.S. Organizational communication is an increasingly popular subject of study on university campuses. The number of departments offering organizational communication coursework is increasing and more students are attracted to this area of study. The course is offered at the upper-division undergraduate level and for just under half the departments has no prerequisites. The most frequently cited course objectives are to provide an overview of theories about organizations and to help students analyze problems in organizations.
Administrator Beware: External Supervision Issues Regarding Human-Subjects Based Research, Craig Newburger
Administrator Beware: External Supervision Issues Regarding Human-Subjects Based Research, Craig Newburger
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article discusses external supervision issues regarding human-subjects based research in education in the U.S. Ongoing changes in federal, state, and campus regulatory environments regarding human subjects based research compel speech communication administrators to take a more active role in ensuring that area faculty and graduate students are aware of current regulations and guidelines governing their related research activities. Speech communication matters and doctoral students involved with human subjects-based research normally are focused on sorting out basic experimental design and data collection. Awareness of emerging regulatory issues concerning how their human subjects-based research is conducted may not be adequately addressed …
Communication Networks And Perceptions Of Social Support As Antecedents To College Adjustment: A Comparison Between Student Commuters And Campus Residents, Lilnabeth P. Somera, Beth Hartman Ellis
Communication Networks And Perceptions Of Social Support As Antecedents To College Adjustment: A Comparison Between Student Commuters And Campus Residents, Lilnabeth P. Somera, Beth Hartman Ellis
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article looks at the impact of social support on college adjustment among traditional campus residents and commuters. One consistent controversy concerning the conceptualization of social support concerns what actions, resources, and outcomes should be considered relevant to the provision of social support. As comparisons are made between commuters and campus residents, it appears that the impact of social support on college adjustment in these populations may vary in terms of which type of social support is relevant to various aspects of adjustment. In the context of commuting students, the availability of informational and instrumental network support and the perception …

Communication Curriculum Reform, Liberal Arts Components And Administrative Organization, Keith L. Williamson, Sharon Hartin Iorio
Communication Curriculum Reform, Liberal Arts Components And Administrative Organization, Keith L. Williamson, Sharon Hartin Iorio
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article investigates the substance and level of importance placed on liberal arts as elements within the communication curriculum and whether the definition and significance of these liberal arts elements change according to the emphasis of different communication programs. To explore the nature and extent of the curriculum, the article reviewed communication programs through a survey of the membership of two organizations, the Association of Communication Administrators and the Association of Schools of Journalism and Mass Communication. Prior to the analysis of the findings, academic literature are reviewed to provide a discussion of the history surrounding the organization, curricula, and …
"Classical 'Tenure Trek': In The Search For New Academic Frontiers, 'Don't Lower The Bridge, Raise The Water'", Gerald Lee Ratliff
"Classical 'Tenure Trek': In The Search For New Academic Frontiers, 'Don't Lower The Bridge, Raise The Water'", Gerald Lee Ratliff
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article evaluates the conditions related to a similar classical quest for academic tenure and examines the primary strategies that may be involved in enriching the traditional educational relics of teaching, research, scholarship and service. Any basic, honest blueprint for tenure clearly demands a visionary pre-hiring faculty selection committee that understands the significant investment indicated by an advertisement for a tenure track appointment. After a basic tenure-trek blueprint has been drawn, perhaps the vision of academic and professional expectations may be more clearly detailed by some illustrations that suggest effective strategies for achieving tenure goals and objectives.

Bowl Names And Sponsors: Silliness Abounds, Richard C. Crepeau

Already some of the big ones are behind us. The annual Blue-Gray Game in which the Confederacy tries to atone for the loss of the big game of 1865 was played in Montgomery, Alabama on Christmas Day. Once again the Gray was out maned. Then came the Jeep Eagle Aloha Bowl in which Aloha meant goodbye in any number of ways, and the Weiser Lock Copper Bowl, which asks the question what is a weiser lock and why would you want to lock weisers anyway?

In Memoriam: Sergei Grinkov, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
These words of poet John Williams in "The Skaters" came to mind while contemplating the loss of beauty in the world that will result from the death of Sergei Grinkov. At age 28 his death came as a shock not only to those closest too him, but to anyone who has ever watched him and his skating partner perform their routines to near perfection. His partner, Yekaterina Gordeeva was with him on the ice at Lake Placid when he collapsed and died during a practice session some ten days ago.

Last week Larry Guest reported on the reluctance of the Orlando Magic to share this city with any other major league professional sports franchise. In the course of his column Guest quoted Magic owner Rich DeVoss as saying about his conversations with County Chairman Linda Chapin and Orlando Mayor Glenda Hood: "I talked to the girls and asked them how many sports dollars are there to go around in Orlando."

Sport As Business - The Nomadic Franchies Of The Nfl, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Over the last several years I have had a running disagreement with a colleague over whether sport is simply a business or if it means something beyond the bottom line. Is there, or was there ever any sentiment in sport? The recent developments involving Cleveland and Baltimore raise these questions once again.
