The Trouble with UT

Title: The Trouble with UT
Rights: Texas Monthly
Type: News Article
Creator: Gene Lyons
Date: September 1982
Description: This article is framed through upcoming centennial of UT Austin, claiming the university is threatened by its own bureaucracy, faculty, and lowered admissions standards. Two anecdotes relate to the teaching of writing: one about a graduate instructor helping Dean King to teach a composition course, and then criticizing King publicly after; another about Lesser preparing resignation out of “disgust” for lack of concern about first-year composition.

Lyons reports that in 1975 English Department “disgraced itself” by voting down proposition for all faculty to teach at least one composition course annually.
