I’m still piecing the story together, but we should see it in the context of our society gutting its intellectual future: DOGE dismantling of vital research, the corporate university squeezing its faculty, right wing attacks on schools. CCCC was a point of resistance to that which must be protected.

The Cs was a place where precarious academic workers could dream of a better higher ed, as well as make it. Adjuncts and community college faculty were especially welcomed rather than just being stigmatized for where/how they taught. I loved hearing people’s 4Cs report backs!

That "special topics conference" language is really getting under my grill. It reeks of the long history of seeing composition as an extension of and lesser than literature.

There it is. #CCCC #NCTE
Email from NCTE Executive Committee acknowledging messages received and the following:

For many years, the Conference on College Composition & Communication (CCCC) played a critical role in serving the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) & its mission. In recent years, however, CCCC has struggled with its fiscal sustainability, declining participation, & governance challenges. As a result, earlier today the Executive Committee of NCTE made the difficult decision to de-charter its special topics conference CCCC. To clarify, today’s decision to de-charter does not mean that NCTE has altered its commitment to supporting teachers at the college and university level. This is exemplified by the fact that the NCTE College Section is thriving.  The process in making this decision spanned several years, with attempts to work collaboratively with CCCC’s executive committees across multiple iterations. While the organization appreciates the years of collaboration with CCCC, after deep evaluation and thoughtful consideration, the Executive Committee concluded this step was necessary to more effectively serve the college English and writing and composition community and NCTE membership as a whole.

Although this has been a very difficult decision, we are excited about the future. This change will allow us to provide better support to the college English and writing and composition community. In the coming days and weeks, we will be working hard to make this transition as smooth as possible. We thank CCCC, its leaders, and its members for its many years of contributions and look forward to continuing to involve the composition, rhetoric, and writing communities as we move forward. NCTE remains devoted to improving the teaching and learning of English and the language arts at all levels of education. As future planning takes place, NCTE will communicate updates.

A transition team focused on supporting composition, rhetoric, & writing studies will be named imminently.

If you haven't had a chance to write the NCTE EC members, it's not too late. They are meeting today, and the more they hear from us about how important CCCC is to us, the better! These emails are all publicly available. Be focused and respectful.
