The College could encourage professors to devise pilot courses now, with the ideals of the new curriculum in mind, and test them out as Cores. The College could even put an interim distribution requirement in place to encourage current students to get their Gen Ed directly from departments’ introductory courses, and perhaps offer separate sections...
