Abolish the Core
Over the last four days, we have documented the Core Program’s persistent flaws. Still, the goal of the Core—to provide students with a broad liberal arts education—is one that we support. A distribution requirement would better achieve these aims while avoiding the Core’s inflexibility.
We firmly believe that every Harvard student should be exposed to many approaches to knowledge. Yet we deny that the large, watered-down lecture classes that constitute the bulk of the Core accomplish this task. The College can expand students’ options without increasing requirements, allowing undergraduates to choose the liberal arts education that they deserve.
