<HTML><BODY><P>Greetings Fellow Lecturers:</P>
<P>First of all, thank you for your support and enthusiasm in our last meeting on 5/4. This was a productive session where we could clearly see the solidarity among our ranks.</P>
<P>Second, as we discussed in this meeting, the lecturers want to produce as a group a mission statement of pedagogy. We can then use this statement to more fully participate in the hiring process of the new writing director should it occur next year. If you have not done so, please send me <EM>(in bullet point format)</EM> the top five things you think are important in terms of our pedagogy and roles in the composition program at UCR.</P>
<P>Third, you all know that the search for a Writing Director has failed this year, but it very well may be conducted next year, so we have to be prepared.</P>
<P>Therefore, Wallace Cleaves and I (your lecturer representatives) have called a meeting on June 11th at 11:30 AM. right after final exams (We had planned an earlier meeting, but this new date seemed the best). In this meeting we will discuss three things:</P>
<P>1) the pedagogy mission statement</P>
<P>2) the status of the current contract talks</P>
<P><STRONG><EM>3) our possible job actions in Fall, 2007</EM></STRONG></P>
<P><FONT size=6>When: June 11th at 11:30 AM</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=6>Where: English Department Conference Room</FONT></P>
<P>In Solidarity,</P>
<P>Keith Vance</P>
