A major part of the problem surrounding the reaction to this concept paper is distrust. This appears to be another example of something being imposed from above. Faculty members have not been given a voice in its development. Yes, that clearly is a major part of the problem. The idea itself might make some sense, but there is mistrust.
Faculty members feel excluded from the process, beleaguered, depressed.
The GS has much of the material that your survey is seeking. We will be glad to share that information with you. Our attention the past few years, of necessity, has been focused more on Ph.D. programs. We are turning our attention now to master's programs. I am planning a meeting with coordinators of master's programs to discuss the capstone experiences in the master's programs.
