Daily Texan staff writer Eric Feistel reports on the recent re-formation of the Austin chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), which had disbanded in 1986. John Ruszkiewicz is quoted expressing his belief that the AAUP has re-formed for political reasons and asserting that he will be joining to ensure more balanced representation. An unnamed professor and former chair of the AAUP echoes Ruszkiewicz's concerns and accuses the group of not inviting him to a recent meeting. Kurt Heinzelman, English professor and AAUP chapter president, calls such allegations "absurd," but admits the group has re-formed in response to the E 306 debate over political correctness. Robert King and Larry Carver are also mentioned.

Ratfliff notes that the Lesser memo scandal has produced extreme reactions from both sides of the political spectrum: the left seeing it as a way for the University to weed out provisional students, the right seeing it as a way for professors to impose their political standards. He argues that the brouhaha is yet another example of why a Division of Rhetoric and Composition should be created. He writes that in an ideal world, this would separate competing interests instead of pitting them against one another, although he warns that a DRC should not become a means by which Dean King can divert funding from English literature.
