We also, at one point, had a WSU Writing Contest, which sounds fun and useful for engaging with the department. The summer program was cut during this time, so that’s a shame. Supposedly at one point, the English Department was able to offer the completion of an MA program through entirely summer classes. As an aside, I have to imagine that submitting reports rife with statistics about the English program to administrators doesn’t exactly play to the strengths of an English program. I have to wonder if Kastor couldn’t have done a better job here by consolidating the numbers and really working the word game.
