Graham, Margaret Baker; Birmingham, Elizabeth; Zachry, Mark

WPA: Writing Program Administration, v21 n1 p19-30 Fall 1997

Examines the restructuring of first-year composition at Iowa State University. Discusses the exodus of tenure-track faculty from first-year composition in the late 1970's and early 1980's; why upper administration is now mandating tenure-track faculty's return; why the department of English is cooperating; and potential risks in cooperating or not cooperating.
