...would be foolish to birth a new general education curriculum in isolation; the Core’s record must be carefully considered, lest the new system repeat its flaws. 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...
Though the philosophy of the new general education is no doubt important, constructing a better system to ensure the integrity of the individual requirements and courses is perhaps even more vital to its long-term viability. A lack of strong oversight has allowed the current Core to decompose from a tight system guided by a clear rationale into the hodgepodge of specialty courses that it is today. Much of the blame goes to the CSC, which meets infrequently and prioritizes methods of student evaluation over course content when deciding which courses count for Core credit.

...didn't Casey and Khalilzad do so? Their refusal to utter the "w" word reflects the broader lack of candor that still characterizes our debate about what to do in Iraq. The White House now says it intends to stop using the phrase "staying the course," and Democratic leaders talk about the need for a "new strategy," but neither is willing to publicly commit to a definitive plan - also known by the more politically perjorative phrase "timetable" - for getting U.S. troops out. In the Washington Post today, Richard Holbrooke argues for Bush to "disengage" from Iraq and seek a political...
