Department of Literatures in English made changes in major requirements, introducing new curriculum with diversity and expansion of view in mind.
Starting this fall, the School of Industrial and Labor Relations implemented a substantially altered curriculum for first-year and transfer students, which includes a diversity and inclusion requirement, updated writing seminars and an increased emphasis on statistics and data analysis skills.
The proposal released on Tuesday is the final version of the report, and faculty will need to approve it in a vote before further planning can take place.
The Curriculum Committee presented its first draft proposal — a culmination of 15 months of effort — to Arts and Sciences faculty in a town hall on Thursday.
Prof. Laura Brown, English, said that this distribution of required courses “enable students to experiment in an organized way.”
A “number of faculty members” have shared their interest in promoting courses geared toward all Cornell undergraduates, regardless of college or major, Rawlings said.
