CUE needs to involve undergrads in process - Closer to home
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrase “student council”.
Summary
- The Johns Hopkins News-Letter article reports on the CUE report and argues that students should help carry out its recommendations.
- The paper reported that President Brody and Provost Steven Knapp convened the Commission on Undergraduate Education, which found serious problems in undergraduate education.
- The article says an interim report came out January 31, 2003, and the final report on May 15; it adds that implementation had already begun.
- The reporter writes that the university was considering changing the MTW, ThF class schedule to an MWF, TTh schedule.
- The article argues that students, including people outside Student Council, should serve on the scheduling committee, while important meetings and later discussions should be public.
- The News-Letter reported that the article called for a school-wide election to measure student opinion and build student ownership of the issue.
