The return of the core?
Over at Minding the Campus, Charlotte Allen writes about the recent Association of American Colleges & Universities core curriculum report, citing ACTA president Anne Neal's critique of the study. "Is the Core Curriculum Really Coming Back?" Allen asks. The answer is best described as "not quite." As Allen rightly comments, "The AACU survey pays lip service to the idea of a core curriculum but its members seem unable to take the next step of actually implementing one." Hopefully, those institutions reviewing their general education programs will take note--and perhaps use some of ACTA's key publications on the topic as a starting point.
