The rationale for GE now being discussed by this committee was not discussed by the last committee. Members of this committee should discuss the work the committee with their faculty. One faculty member suggested that there should be one course from each major. This may not be possible, but should take a natural course. A couple of things have changed at the regent's level.
Budget based on enrollment is a flawed system.
Several items from the draft report of the prior committee have been incorporated into the new GE draft statement. If education added a GE course, it would be added to Social Science. This model requires a great deal of work. SUU is somewhat bound by the 39 credit hours set by the regents and the 13 required credit hours. This committee has 26 credit hours to work with.
