520 _aAmerican universities have long professed dismay at the writing proficiency of entrants. Jane Stanley examines the "rhetoric of remediation" at the University of California, Berkeley, and reveals the definition of a high need for remediation as a tool by which Cal encouraged or discouraged enrollments in direct correlation to social, economic and political currents throughout the University's history.Winner, 2010 MLA Mina P. Shaughnessy Prize.
