The Brown program allows students from Brown to graduate without ever taking an introductory class in such core departments as English or Mathematics. They aren't fulfilling any requirements by being there. Whether they are learning anything is also an open question. I learned several things from my first trip to Brown. Not the least of which was that Brown students, for all their superficial sensitivity, were not particularly friendly.
Education can be productive and it can be silly.
I'm sure no one at Brown set out to make their collective curriculum intellectually irrelevant, but the more I saw of the class the more I was convinced that the sort of politically-correct impulses that let classes like Race, Writing, and Manhood exist are best kept out of the Dartmouth classroom.
