WAC Programs

[tere molinder-hogue <tmhogue@iupui.edu>]

I need help.  I'm supposed to put together a WAC program for our campus
(large commuter campus w/about 26,000 students and attendant schools,
programs, etc.).  Some informal WAC initiatives already exist.    

A couple problems exist also.  I am a lecturerr
(un-tenurable) allowed 10 hours week for administering our writing center
(it sees 2000 -2500 students a year with staff ranging from 15-25
undergrad and part-time faculty tutors) AND putting organizing WAC
effort, with essentially no budget, etc.

My questions.  How much released time from teaching and other
administrative responsibilities are other wc administrators allowed
to implement WAC efforts?  What kind of budget is required?  What kind of 
support from tenured or tenure-track administrators is required?  

And finally -- does anyone have ideas or pointers about organizing such a
program?  In incremental steps?  All at once?  Any help will be deeply
appreciated.  Thanks!!
