- Breaking the Mold?
Since 1995, I have served on the Executive Committee of the Research Network Forum at CCCC. From 2001-Present, I have served as Chair/Co-Chair and from 1995-2001, as Associate Chair. See RNF's website at www.rnfonline.com/blog for more information
- Reassigned Time for WPA Work
The normal teaching load for tenured/tenure-track faculty at Ramapo is a 3/3. As Director of First-Year Writing, my teaching load is a 1/2. I am a considered faculty (not staff), and I'm on a 10 month salary (e.g. if summer work is availabe, I get extra pay for it). Since I just began this position in Sept. 2008, it is unclear how (or if?) I'll be compensated for any summer WPA work.
