...feasibility of a hard transition,” according to Assistant Dean of the College Stephanie H. Kenen.In a “soft” transition, Gen Ed and the Core would co-exist for an adjustment period, and students could decide whether to stay under the Core or adopt the Gen Ed requirements instead.The difficulty of fitting Core courses into Gen Ed categories stands chief among the committee’s concerns, since many students could be forced to scramble at the last minute to fulfill new requirements.

...Crimson argued in a staff editorial opposing the proposed change on April 26, 2006, maybe cutting fall sophomore tutorials is too steep a price to pay for increased choice.

During the years of famine, it was "fear that this nation, which was great 1,000 years ago ... may be on the verge of total collapse...

Even if Democrats were able to peel off a dozen or more Republicans in the Senate and adopt a measure requiring a deployment on a specific timetable - and that's a big if - the vast majority of House Republicans are unlikely ever to break ranks and support such a plan. So Bush has little to fear from the Democrats, for all their promises to change course on the war. And there's a bonus in this for the President as well: if a close vote makes it to the floor of the Senate, Bush...
