Description
-
In "English Classes Just Plain Bad," Joubert rails against the English department, specifically lower division writing courses, for offering too many courses with ideological or inane themes. He asserts that "wacky" courses will not offer students any practical skills and calls political themes inappropriate.
In "Interference with Curriculum Inappropriate," the Editorial Board expresses disapproval for state lawmakers who have spoken out against the faculty's vote against a six-hour multicultural education requirement. Calling the lawmakers "vainglorious," "draconian," and "nakedly political," the writers state that the university's curriculum should be free from political influence and that adding a multicultural requirement would have restricted student's choices.
