  17. two important threads there--
  18. our students do vary greatly and probems vary accordingly; no problems with
  19. using/acquiring the academic dialects/grapholects at Michigan when I taught
  20. there; very different at this urban commuter IIA school
  21. exploiting adjunct faculty is practically impossible to avoid in comp programs;
  22. my inability to avoid it here led me to give up directing the Writing Program
  23. from the end of this semester.  I finally realized things weren't going to
  24. change and my principal role was to maintain the status quo; the only points at
  25. which I was able to get inand make change were points that depended on adjunct
  26. faculty doing extra work (like portfolios).  I don't mind working hard, but I
  27. have to see some good for somebody coming out of it.  Are you too young?  Maybe,
  28. but you'll grow old quickly runing a writing program!!  Best of luck.
