------------------
My official title at Cal State University Northridge is Director of the
Language Learning Resource Center. I report to the Chair of the Language
Deapartment and the Dean of the College of Humanities.  I was actually
responsible for writing the job description and having the position reclassed
to a Faculty  rack.

Regards,

Pat Miller
