I would expect to see a writing center at an engineering school but an Ivy?

But I don't think Writing Center necessarily equals a remedial program, does it?

I think Writing Centers just got to be really trendy and they are probably a way of keeping professors from having to read undergraduate drafts but making sure someone is available to read them.

ETA: if you look at the topics for programs offered at the first link, they don't really look remedial. The Cornell link doesn't even seem to offer writing help. It may just be the way I think of remedial programs. The schools I was thinking of require students to take non-credit but tuition classes before they are eligible to take the first credit course in the sequence.
