I am an assistant professor of English, non-tenured at the moment, but 
the department chair is lobbying to get my status changed to tenure 
track.  I was part of the English faculty before I became director of 
The Write Site.  I still teach one course a quarter (two spring) for that 
department.  I report to the dean of arts and humanities in my director 
position.  The writing center is not affiliated administratively with the
English department at all.
