...students wait for the Faculty of Arts and Sciences to slowly turn its wheels and approve new requirements for general education, the lame duck Core curriculum remains. After Tuesday’s meeting of the Faculty and Arts and Sciences, it is more than clear that the proposed requirements—a broad system of general distribution requirements, rather than the current Core—will not be in place for the next school year.
