This satiation must not dissuade the Faculty, however, from reevaluating the infamous set of undergraduate requirements with an open mind. While the Faculty is clearly unlikely to completely dismantle a program so painstakingly and expensively built up, the group should take this opportunity to make some much-needed adjustments.
