...plan is like the classic response of the bureaucrat, or parent whose children are getting older and more independent--it's much easier to try to control, rather than to trust and have faith in the outcome. The faculty's solution to the muddled state of undergraduate education mirrors the kind of responses we are used to seeing in the rest of society. When the crime rate goes up, people cry for law and order and a larger police force--they don't try to eliminate the problems which cause the crime. Too much of our society tries to outmuscle...
...course, getting a team together goes not mean the battle is over.
