Here's the message about $ that I THOUGHT I had sent to CASLL but which in fact I had sent only to Janice. Sorry about the confusion, everyone.

The problem at Laurentian is that we don't have any existng "multidisciplinary" academic writing courses that could be transformed into linked courses. We moved away from the generic introductory writing course offered by the English department several years ago in favour of a more discipline-specific "Intro to Writing and English Studies". Currently, sections of this course are being cut, so I can't see any way that the English Department, nor any other department for that matter, would get the money to pay even for a few sections of any new linked courses. Has anyone else had to negotiate this kind of problem? Philippa
