Abstract
Organizational news feature detailing Association for Communication Administration sponsorship of administrative programs at several 1985 regional conventions in speech communication and theatre. It outlines ACA panels at the Western Speech Communication Association meeting on administrative concerns, including sessions introducing academic administration careers and debating doctoral versus terminal master’s degrees in theatre. At the Southeastern Theatre Conference, it documents multiple programs on off-campus summer theatre administration, criteria for evaluating creative activity in tenure and promotion, tenuring technical theatre faculty, censorship in college and university theatres, and methods for evaluating theatre training programs. Additional ACA-sponsored sessions at Central States Speech Association, Southern States Communication Association, and Eastern Communication Association focus on hierarchical relationships in communication education, faculty–chair dynamics, and administrative perspectives on institutional change. The piece serves as a regional programming record and highlights administrative issues facing communication and theatre programs in higher education.
