I don't think the same curriculum fits every student body.

The way universities operate is the decision about what students need for the degree are... is the decision made by the faculty.

The difficulty with coming up with a curriculum is mainly that faculty aren't trained to think in terms of general education. They're trained to think in terms of their own discipline, or their specialty.

There are limits, after all, to the idea of limits.

Obviously input is helpful to faculty in trying to come up with a curriculum, but ultimately it's the faculty's job to know what students need to know. Make a decision about it and present it.

It's generally sort of sociologically observed that the better educated people are, the more liberal they tend to be, which would suggest that professors are going to be more liberal than the general public.

It's very hard to know who your readers are, but that's who I'm... if I have somebody in my head, that's probably who it is.
