The discussion will include a report on the pros and cons of pre-assignment, and a briefing on a investigatory trip several CHUL members took to Yale last year to study the workings of the pre-assignment there. CHUL opinions on the viability of pre-assignment range from "some people think it's inevitable" (Paul W.
