Description
After announcements, Moldenhaur reports the substance of his November 1978 letter to Dean Werbow’s Consultative Committee a letter that emphasized the department’s commitment to teaching writing and the inconsistency between the department’s scholarly pursuits and its teaching mission.
The faculty discussed recruitment for the coming year. Hairston moved, among other things,that "rhetoric" be included among the disciplines recruited and that all recruits be asked to show a “demonstrated commitment” to teaching lower-division writing.
Debate about Hairston’s motions leads to counterproposals and their eventual tabling. A motion passes to proceed as earlier planned with recruitment.
