Abstract:
The two authors conducted a study about the power, position, and responsibilities of writing program administrators by interviewing English department chairs. The survey showed that chairs want WPAs to be accessible and organized, to communicate well with faculty, and to train freshman composition instructors, but that chairs do not normally expect WPAs to assist in the creation of curricular policy. The authors believe that WPAs, as experts in composition and rhetoric, should have full control of the writing programs, act as co-chairs to the English department chair, and not be expected to take on an administrative role until they secure tenure.

Abstract:
In this article, the 1988 CCCC Chair’s Address, the author uses compares the two opening talks of the first CCCC convention to show how the convention struggled to redefine English and the first-year composition course. He reflects on the terms communication, composition, and conference to get a sense of where the field is now and what it could become in the future, stating that he is wary of calls for the creation of disciplinary boundaries in the field that could limit one of the field’s strengths, its diversity of interests and willingness to accept new ideas.

Abstract:
This article challenges teachers of writing to acquire a wider knowledge of the cultures and histories of their individual students, citing that instructors who are sensitive to their students’ cultural diversity are better able to equip them with the knowledge they need to succeed at the university. The author describes theoretical models for multicultural classrooms and offers several teaching exercises and strategies to use for the purpose of raising issues of cultural diversity in the college composition classroom.

Abstract:
This article argues against the idea of a coherent, unified academic discourse community and suggests that creating a binary between the language of the university and the language of students makes it difficult for scholars to talk about how or why people would move between these two communities. The author proposes that teachers of writing show students that adopting an additional discourse community does not cancel out their previous discourse community; rather, it only adds another layer of complexity to their use of language, and students should be taught to be conscious of and value the competing discourses that make up their own unique voice. The author also urges others in the field of composition to be aware of the conflicting discourses within the university community and suggests using community to refer to specific and local groups instead of broader ones.
