Given the decision by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) to de-charter the Conference on College Composition and Communication, among other actions, we do not believe that the NCTE is a good steward for the future of writing studies. As members of the writing studies community, we therefore support discussions leading to alternative arrangements for the organization of the teaching and study of writing outside the control of NCTE.

As a past CCCC chair and a past president of NCTE (and proud winner of its Distinguished Service award), I think writing teachers and scholars--and our students--will be better served a professional association outside NCTE at this point.
