Re: A suspected can of worms

I agree with putting TW in engineering, or at least not with the "regular"
English stuff.  I'd actually put journalism and techwriting closer together than
the general English program. My friends getting their undgrad and grad degrees in
English all had to study and write about things like the post-epistomological
pre-modern reconstructionist views of the fourth-person rhetorical narrative in
18th century French short stories. Or something like that. And that's not going
to do you much good when you're trying to understand and succinctly communicate
accurate, important information under a tight deadline.

Maybe somehow categorize English Art (lit, writing short stories, etc.) and
English Science (TW, journalism, etc.) separately. They already split off
Communications, aka English Sociology, so it makes sense to keep going.
