(THE COLLEGE FIX) – Three higher education experts have authored new model legislation called the General Education Act that seeks to transform gen-ed requirements at colleges and universities.
The proposal includes creating at each university a School of General Education, which would likely necessitate firing a substantial number of professors specializing in narrow humanities fields to make room for such new schools.
The bill, which could be implemented by state legislators, seeks to establish a robust set of gen-ed requirements that give students a firm foundation in basic and vital knowledge and create a common culture, its authors said.
