At the conclusion of the preliminary voting, any proposal which had not received a unanimous positive vote was discussed in more detail before a final vote was taken. The discussion of each of these proposals lasted anywhere from a few minutes to more than an hour, sometimes extending over more than one meeting. The Council has indeed been successful in provided enough seats in approved liberal education courses, as the following table for Fall 2000 illustrates. The table below compares the number of courses now available with the number of courses available under the old liberal education distribution requirements. All members of the Council feel that some sort of assessment of the current situation is needed.
Some members are satisfied with the general array of liberal education courses now available.
Other members feel that the current collection of courses has grown too large and lacks the coherence demanded in the Task Force report.
