Abstract

This issue of ACA News provides organizational updates and reports on leadership transitions, conference activities, and new administrative initiatives within the Association for Communication Administration (ACA). J. Robert Wills of the University of Texas at Austin assumed the ACA presidency, succeeding Robert K. Tiemens, while Robert M. Smith of Wichita State University was named President-Elect. Newly elected Executive Committee members included Robert E. Davis, Martha Nell Hardy, and James Symons. The bulletin also lists referees and paper submission data for the 1986 publication year, reflecting high participation and a 32% acceptance rate. Salary data from national sources are summarized for communication and related disciplines, offering comparative insight into faculty compensation across institutional types. Additional reports outline ACA-sponsored programs at regional conventions—including WSCA, SETC, SSCA, CSSA, and ECA—and announce new initiatives such as the Directory of Communication Media in Higher Education, the revision of Official ACA Guidelines, and continued advocacy for administrative communication education and evaluation standards
