MBU was a discussion list (founded in 1990) composed of professors, teachers, grad students, and administrators in Rhetoric and Composition, and more generally in English or language studies. They represented several different levels of institutions: secondary and community college as well as university graduate students and faculty. MBU physically ran at Texas Tech University, in Lubbock, Texas, and was administered by Fred Kemp. Photos of some members of MBU are featured in my Conference Photo Gallery. Now that MBU exists in the past tense, this FAQ will refer to ACW in all technical matters (such as how to subscribe, etc.), but will continue to use MBU as a concept–the spirit of the community, if you will.
