Charge 2: Maintain a close working relationship with the Caucus on Intellectual Property and Composition Studies and related NCTE groups and staff.
Charge 3: Develop and update CCCC position and policy statements to guide writing teachers’ and researchers’ uses of course packs, electronic materials, issues of plagiarism, etc.
