Many students believed the high number of required courses, coupled with only limited options for by-passing introductory-level offerings, would create a strict curriculum focused on large, fuzzily defined, basic lecture courses. Others objected to the alleged lack of student consultation, maintaining that the students on CUE and ERG were not representative of the entire student body.

...last lecture of his five-year career as Henry R. Luce Visiting Professor of Film Studies. Of the 180 students enrolled in the course, nine are present. By the end of the lecture, six more will have arrived. A puzzled girl distributes Committee on Undergraduate Education (CUE) Guide Course Evaluation sheets for next year's publication, but Professor Petric informs her with a trace of exasperation, that both he and the course will depart after this lecture--and besides, he says, class attendance is not exactly high this day.
