Karen Greenberg, who saw what was happening at CUNY, stressed that “there are reactionary political forces currently trying to achieve precisely this barring of access and precisely this reduction in size in colleges across the country” and claimed that Shor’s proposal “would, in fact, justify the curtailment and the consequent reduction or elimination of basic skills programs” (94). Terence Collins, academic dean of the General College of the University of Minnesota, more tersely and colorfully remarked, “We who teach from the left are peculiarly fond of beating each other up while the right wing eats our lunch” (100).
Not the first—Linda Flower had already published “Writer-Based Prose: A Cognitive Basis for Problems in Writing” in College English in 1979—but Rose’s was the rare treatment of such ideas by a teacher/researcher with graduate training in developmen- Historical Overview 19 tal psychology. Significantly, Flower teamed up with John R. Hayes, a cognitive psychologist, as her coauthor in other articles: “Problem Solving Strategies and the Writing Process” (1977), “The Dynamics of Composing: Making Plans and Juggling Constraints” (1979), “The Cognition of Discovery: Defining a Rhetorical Problem” (1980), and “Problem Solving and the Cognitive Processes of Writing” (1981).
But he also said Shor’s argument put him in mind of “Deborah Mutnick’s warning [in the preface to Writing in an Alien World] to be careful in how we mount educational critique from the left, that in impolitic critique of Basic Writing we risk crawling into bed with the very elements of right wing elitism which access programs and many Basic Writing programs were founded to counteract” (99). For the remainder of the decade, the Journal of Basic Writing would often include accounts of the dismantling of basic writing programs, sometimes on a statewide basis, like Gail Stygall’s account of the “unraveling” of BW at the University of Washington.
