Description

Lengthy description of the debate over the DRC at a University Council meeting. Although the DRC by and large receives support from those outside the English Department, English faculty members object to the opaque procedure around the division's establishment. They argue for a suspension of the DRC's 1 June 1993 start date in order for an investigative committee to be convened. King defends his actions, stresses that the debated proposal is open to amendments, and emphasizes that the decision to establish the DRC is final.
