Committee Charge

The Language Policy Committee is charged to:

  • Research and draft a statement on the presence of “white language supremacy” in the evaluation/assessment of writing in higher education and civic spaces, particularly around the use of standards in classrooms and professional settings (this is not a statement on assessment though – we have that).
  • Provide up to 2 members of the committee to be active members of the joint committee that is drafting a companion piece to STROL in 2019.
