Shredding every "reason" NCTE gave to support its decision to de-charter CCCC, this is a clear call for writing studies to find a different path forward. Sign on and let's build the future of the field together.

Simultaneously glad that CCCC is going to happen and yet again insulted by NCTE’s messaging.

I'm looking forward to working with folks to build a better organization. This is a time to be visionary. At a bare minimum, I'd like: *No NDAs for board members *FULL financial transparency once a year sent to all members *Public comment periods before any major organizational change

@ncte.org with another awful email. If college writing teachers really mattered to the org, you’d have talked to the membership about this decision. And then you would have worked with our elected leaders, rather than a hand-picked transition team.

While you're canceling, ask NCTE what they plan to do with the $4.6 million of members' dues and fees that they held as recently as March 6, 2026, in CCCC reserves, $500K more than was in those same reserves in 2024, according to the Executive Secretary Treasurer's report.

“For fear of retribution.” From a professional org. Unbelievable. @ncte.org, burning through over a century of goodwill can’t be as easy as you’re making it look. This must be what it felt like watching Ruth hit 50 homers when the second place guy hit 4. Otherworldly, in a horrible way.

The #NCTE is looking forward to re-marginalizing first-year academic writing as a field for reasons that are “exciting” and should certainly escape linkage to status or to institutional resistance to equity& access advocacy.

it seems like @ncte.org will now be unimpeded in their delirious pro-AI pursuits now that they destroyed CCCC, which actually hosted rigorous conversations not about how to use AI but is ethical use even possible. so yay for them.

Hey folks: even if you aren't involved, consider signing this petition in solidarity with your fellow academics? Interdisciplinary translation: this is like if they canceled APSA for political scientists, AMS for musicologists, AHA for historians, MLA for lit studies, etc. etc.

"The NCTE’s own constitution Article IV, Subsection C, states that the Chairs of all NCTE conferences—incl CCCC—must be present for a binding vote on 'decisions concerning internal NCTE operations and structure.' No conference chairs were invited to the meeting."

NCTE has just summarily killed a 77-year-old organization that has shaped how writing is understood, taught, and learned, in higher education in particular. No member involvement. No transparency. No process to speak of. With friends and fellow educators like these, I guess who needs enemies.

I keep trying and failing to say it more eloquently, so: @ncte.org’s behavior around the decision to dissolve CCCC is shameful.
