People do not realize that many decades ago at Berkeley they decided freshman composition should also be given by (many) departments other than English. They have it in Rhetoric, Dramatic Art, Comparative Literature, and now all of these departments.
This means that English is more immune to being asked to staff these courses with adjuncts, and other departments get TAships for their students.
Yes, it is possible to achieve sufficient “uniformity” across departments and disciplines.
