Rosovsky knows that educational leaders throughout the nation are keeping an eye on the great anveiling. This consideration, Pfeffer said, prompted the committee to design several new courses that specifically fit the Core's temets. In future years, as the Core fades from public view, the Faculty's critical approach to Core courses may fade. The Core might evolve--or devolve--into another Gen Ed. Pfeffer stressed.
