General Education Task Force Mission and Reports

The Academic Coordinating Committee (ACC) of the Faculty Senate recommended in May 2001 that a special Task Force on General Education be formed. The Task Force on General Education was formed in Fall 2001 by Provost Andrew Bodman. In Fall 2002, The Task Force released a draft of the purposes of general education and two proposed models of general education programs to the campus community.

Since then, and in accordance with its charge from faculty governance, the Task Force gathered extensive feedback on general education alternatives from faculty, staff and students. The group made its final recommendations to the ACC in Spring 2003.
