One more question: does anyone have any interesting news about funding of linked courses? Did anyone have any success getting new money out of central funds or out of the disciplines served, or did it all come out of money that was being used to teach writing anyway. This is _really_ the agenda here. Right now the entire writing service is funded by charging students $50 to write the test. SInce it's the test I'm trying to phase out, I need to find a way to get the monkey off my back without shooting myself in the foot. (Perhaps I should shoot the monkey in the back?)
