Hi all.
The University of British Columbia is now deep into a process of
"visioning" and one of the things being envisioned is a writing
centre--for research and teaching. I know I will have many queries to
this list as we get going, especially since, with my colleague,
Margery Fee, Director of First Year English, I will be coordinating the
first year writing program here. But this is my opening question: do
writing centres--or writing programs in general--at Canadian universities
seem to do better (in terms of efficacy, image, job satisfaction and
security . . . ) when they are attached to and governed by Departments of
English or when they are separate units of universities or faculties?
I'd be grateful for all responses--on or off list.
