While we appreciate the bold thinking underlying this suggestion, among the excisable components of a solid general education report, a religion requirement should be the first to go.

...recommend “reason and faith” as a general education requirement was a bold decision, and the Task Force’s commitment to innovation should be commended. But Harvard’s desire to follow in the footsteps of past curricular reviews by assuming the role of the gallant knight crusading into uncharted territory has gone too far. The Faculty should replace “reason and faith” with something more sensible...
