Contemplating Writing Center Challenges: Thoughts about the IWCA listserv’s “reporting structure problem/writing center scholarship” thread
This thread begins 08 May 2015 with a post by Susan Meuller, “Writing Center Director at a seven year pharmacy school for 12 years.” The entry describes her duties as a WC Director, and though she claims these duties require at least 45 hours a week, this isn’t “the problem;” “The problem is that I have a dual reporting structure.”
What does “labor” mean to a Writing Program Administrator (WPA)?
I can imagine that, for a WPA (which I am not nor have I ever been), “labor” means “work”:
- The intellectual work of articulating policies, goals, mission statements, objectives, the theoretical identity of a writing program, etc.
- The administrative work of staffing, scheduling, placing, paying, training, assessing/evaluating, promoting, firing, etc.
