Preliminary report to the faculty

On 30 November, we of the Core Curriculum Task Force made a preliminary report to the faculty on some of our recommendations for Caltech Core reform. The full preliminary report can be found here:

Most of the discussion from the faculty involved the issues addressed in the appendix to the report where we outline some of the topics likely to generate controversy. Many of the faculty were sympathetic to the general philosophies proposed here.

A report to the full student body will be made on 3 December. Vigorous campus discussion will invariably ensue.
