Department members will present the committee with information about how the undergraduate curriculum works, including information on the amount of student interest, departmental advising, concentration requirements, the "menu" and size of courses, the use of graduate student teaching fellows and the structure of tutorials.
Last year, the committee met with about a dozen concentrations, including the Faculty's largest--like Government and Economics--and others--like Fine Arts, Philosophy and Music--which are burdened with particularly heavy teaching commitments in the Core.
Spence says the information, once collected, will be reviewed by the Faculty Council, departments and a new academic policy committee, which the dean is in the process of assembling.
The project was prompted by a proposal last year by then-Undergraduate Security Committee Chair David A. Battat '91.
"Security on and off-campus is sorely in need of attention," said Battat at the time. Battat, who founded the ad-hoc security committee after a rape in the Science Center last December, said, "Quad residents are really exposed to a very dark, dangerous area whenever they walk home."
