Who should teach Oral Communication classes?

From the Communication and Theatre Arts Minnesota Business Meeting

Adopted by CTAM, 9/17/16 Whereas...

• Oral Communication competency is essential for academic and professional success;
  
• Oral Communication skills are recognized as an integral component of the Minnesota Transfer
  Curriculum Goal 1;
  
• Faculty credentialed in Communication Studies/Speech Communication are best qualified to
  teach the oral communication skills and theories central to this goal area;
  
• Courses taught by disciplines other than Communication Studies/Speech Communication have
  been approved by some institutions within the MN State System 
  

Be it Resolved:

That the Communication and Theatre Association of Minnesota supports that all courses used to satisfy the oral communication component of Goal 1 of the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum

• Should be taught by faculty with the appropriate Communication Studies/Speech Communication credentials;
  
• Should be taught within a Communication Studies/Speech Communication Department.
