With this proposal, instead of one severely overcrowded department we will potentially have three or four. These students will have to constantly check with their advisors to plan classes they can and cannot take contingent on their GPA at the end of each semester. As students advance along their degree plan, the number of non-major courses that can be taken for credit decreases. A system of waivers would have to be implemented for graduating seniors with just one or two courses left to complete, and who have GPAs between 2.5 and 3.0. These are just some of the objections I have to this proposal, and it should be brought to discussion on the floor of Faculty Council.
