I'd be surprised if we were unique. And if what we want in WAC is to create an institution that values writing, and if what we've done is to shift that writing to low-paid, low-status teachers, then I'm not sure we've done what we set out to do. How did this happen? Who decided full time faculty should not teach these courses? Who acquiesced to/agreed with this decision and why? Just a TA's musings about the usual stuff. But I think the answers to these questions are important. Jude Jude Edminster University of South Florida jedmins1@tampabay.rr.com
