First Gen-Ed proposals sent to colleges

 UNIVERSITY COMMUNICATIONS

The first two proposals for UNL's new general education program, Achievement-Centered Education, have been sent to the eight undergraduate colleges.

According to John Janovy Jr., chair of the General Education Advisory Committee, the proposals pertain to institutional objectives and student learning outcomes, and structural criteria.

Individuals in the colleges are asked to review the proposals prior to discussion and consideration according to each college's governance procedures. Specific questions should be directed to Janovy or a GEAC representative. A list of the representatives, the two proposals, frequently asked questions and a review of the ACE program to date, are available online at www.unl.edu/svcaa/gened.

College approval of the two proposals does not create a new general education program. Janovy said nothing can be implemented until all four planned proposals are approved.

"The GEAC asks that you consider Proposals 1 and 2 on their own merits and in return promises to consult broadly on the development of Proposals 3 and 4," Janovy said in a Nov. 27 e-mail. "You will have additional opportunities for shaping and voting on a new general education program."
