Craft, Renee. "Officials Differ on Temporary Professor Use." _Daily Texan_ 4 August 1986, p. 6.
Responding to a _Chronicle of Higher Ed_ report on abuses of non-tenure-track faculty, this article features two UT departments: computer science, which praises temporary professors as a way to keep new professional information in circulation, and English, where non-tenure-track faculty can be a burden. The mass firing of English lecturers is mentioned as are last year's problems in the English Department. The Department of Art is briefly mentioned. Kruppa is quoted.
