As the Times notes, all Dartmouth students were welcome to take advantage of the clinic, although Dartmouth’s records indicate that the faculty viewed the students who would have need of the clinic in starkly negative terms. Over time, the Dartmouth Bulletin and committee reports characterized the students who might need the Writing Clinic in terms such as “flagrant offenders,” “students whose English is defective,” “students who through causes other than carelessness seem unable to meet [Dartmouth] standards,” or “students prone through ignorance to write badly, illiterately” (Lerner, “Rejecting the Remedial Brand” 16–17).

Various approaches to delivering writing instruction have created alternatives to basic writing in four-year schools (see Lalicker for a summary of alternative approaches to basic-writing programs). Greg Glau’s “Stretch at 10: A Progress Report on Arizona State University’s Stretch Program” indicates that the ASU stretch program, a model in the field for creating a year-long composition course that replaces the basic writing plus FYC model, has generally succeeded. ) Gerri McNenny and Sallyanne Fitzgerald’s Mainstreaming Basic Writers characterizes the “post-remedial” university, noting that “the presence of a political climate unfriendly to the needs of nontraditional college students” also seems to be a new institutional 30 e x ploring composition studies reality (3).

The article seems to support the abolition of basic-writing programs in places, as when Bartholomae wrote, “We have constructed a course to teach and enact a rhetoric of exclusion and made it the center of a curriculum designed to hide or erase cultural difference, all the while carving out and preserving an ‘area’ in English within which we can do our work” (323). But Bartholomae clearly asserted that he was not advocating the immediate elimination of basic-writing courses (325). At the same time, his insistence that basic writing can be read as simultaneously “an attempt to bridge and preserve cultural difference, to enable students to enter the ‘normal’ curriculum but to insure, at the same time, that there are basic writers” (315) and his concerns about the ways that conversation about basic writing no longer seems to enable conversation about literacy standards (325) pointed to a major overhaul, if not outright abolition, of basic writing.
