Legislation that the Faculty passed at its April 11 meeting urges the standing Core committees to designate Core-related sequences--consisting of two or more half-courses--that students could substitute as a by pass for one Core half-course. The legislation also encourages the committees to allow students to substitute one advanced departmental half-course for one Core half-course.

The committees are also empowered to modify sub-area requirements as they see necessary. The main standing committee may authorize the shift of one half-course requirement between areas, provided the total number of Core requirements is not reduced
