University Writing Council Responsibilities
The primary purpose of the California State University, Northridge University Writing Council is to provide a forum for constructive, collaborative, and communal conversations about how to help our students develop as effective writers and critical readers and thinkers. An additional goal is to enable students to gain insight into and appreciation of cultural, ethnic, racial, social, gender, sexual, and ability diversity. Oriented toward the multi-departmental Stretch Composition curriculum, the conversation can be wide-ranging. It can include discussion of pedagogical approaches, reading and writing tasks, subject matter for exploration and research, issues concerning response and assessment, and the incorporation of rhetoric and new media into the program. It is also likely to address administrative issues, articulation among CSU campuses, and course sequencing.
Although the primary responsibility of the council is to serve as a forum for discussion, it can, when appropriate, function in an advisory capacity for policy decisions.
