Acting Dean Mason, chairman of the Committee on Educational Policy, said that the proposal "would involve a very serious change in what the Faculty considers a proper program for undergraduates." He also said that no action would be taken this spring because "the CEP would want a longer time to deliberate on the issue...
...more word of background. The so-called "CEP alternative" was not in my opinion a very good one. Quite by accident, the two meetings at which it was drafted were both ones I had to miss--the first because of a conference in Italy, the second because of the flu--so I was left in the position of not being able to defend a formulation which seemed to many people unnecessarily, and perhaps even intentionally, oblique.

He added that many Faculty members seemed to think that something was being put over on them with the CEP resolution and that possibly this was another reason for its rejection. This remark seemed to rankle many of the Faculty members...
