Over a dozen professors spoke—some endorsed the proposal, while others rose to criticize its rationale and the five broad areas of inquiry it would create. Bass Professor of English and American Literature and Language Louis Menand, the other co-chair of the general education committee, characterized the overall faculty reception as positive. “There’s clarity and enthusiasm for this option,” Menand said...
