Title: Memo and Report On Division of Rhetoric and Composition
Type: Correspondence
Creator: James Kinneavy; John Ruszkiewicz; Lester Faigley; John Slatin; Linda Ferreira-Buckley; Evan Carton; Terry Kelley
Date: 2 December 1992
Description: A memo and report describing meetings among those on the committee on the DRC describing their conversations and points of consensus. The writers agree that the DRC should be democratically led and retain close ties to the English Department, but will have more control over the writing program than before. E 306 will use the same syllabus. The DRC will enhance pedagogical training, open a Computer Writing and Research Lab, establish a Writing Center, and help improve the University's Substantial Writing Component courses. The committee's next steps are a meeting with the English Department Executive Council and the unanimous nomination of a Division Chair. It is also committed to hiring additional faculty, although not at the expense of the English Department.
Extent: 6 pp.
