    Can This Marriage Be Saved: Is an English Department a Good Home for Technical Communication? ↗
    Mary Sue MacNealy; Leon B. Heaton
    Abstract

    In partial answer to the many questions that have been raised about the definition and location of technical writing programs, a random sample of full-time teachers of professional writing was conducted. The results indicate that those located in English departments do not receive the respect and support they need. Those located in other departments are significantly more satisfied. Some strategies for improving the situation are suggested.
