Change must begin with a fundamental shift in the Core’s administrative structure. Currently, a distinct lack of discerning judgment and capacity for constructive criticism plagues the Core’s current stewards: the Faculty’s Core Standing Committee (CSC). The Faculty should create a new student-faculty committee that more actively evaluates both course content and pedagogy when vetting and approving courses for general education credit...
