using wcs to raise money

[cabrown@UTARLG.UTA.EDU]

Hi all.
The attached message was submitted to our Engl. Dept. list during a rather
contentious discussion as to where to find funds to raise GTA and Adjunct
salaries.  I find this proposal rather disturbing and have not yet
responded to it.  

I would appreciate any advice you can offer.  Does anyone know of  state
funded university writing centers being used in this way?  What are your
thoughts and opinions.

Subject: serious proposal for rasing money

Casting my usual flippancy aside, I do have a proposal for raising money
internally - use the Writing Center as the base for consulting for local
companies.  This is probably against regent's rules, but if it isn't any
money raised through the collective expertise of the Writing Center could
be used to augment dept stipends.  I have in mind presenting the Writing
Center as a center for consulting on: editing, writing, hypermedia and
public presentations.
