A philosophical tension was observed between the visual applied arts and the visual fine art, begging the question: Where do the visual applied arts belong within postsecondary institutional schemes? In this qualitative multiple-case study, decision- making under ambiguity was explored in the decision by higher education visual applied arts administrators as to the location of the visual applied arts disciplines (e.g., graphic design and digital media) within various institutional schemes. Specifically, administrators' decisions whether to or not to co-locate the visual applied arts (e.g., graphic design) in the same area as the visual fine arts (e.g., painting and sculpture) were illuminated using four modes of ambiguity in decision-making as posited by James March (1988): Ambiguity about preferences; ambiguity about relevance; ambiguity about history; and ambiguity about interpretation. These modes were utilized as a priori themes within a theoretical framework based upon decision-making under ambiguity as researched by James March, Michael Cohen, Jan Olsen, Martha Feldman and others.Eleven participants were interviewed from postsecondary visual applied arts areas from 10 different public institutions in the State of Florida. The 11 participants were grouped by the emerging theme of decision-making authority level into threecases. All participants were interviewed to explore their perceptions of the decision- making process either to or not to include the visual applied arts in the same area as the visual fine arts.Participants came from schools with institutional schemes where the visual applied arts were co-located with the visual fine arts, from schools where the visual applied arts were in a different area, or some of the visual applied arts were co- located with the visual fine arts and some were located in another area. All cases were analyzed both within-case and cross-case in order to explore perceptions of ambiguity in decision-making and any emerging themes and observations.The findings were discussed and deep understanding of reasons for and against the co-location of the visual applied and fine arts within institutional schemes are suggested as possible ways to mitigate modes of ambiguity by administrative leaders experienced within the decision of where to place the visual applied arts.
