Letters to the Editor

Although I have difficulty recognizing several of the remarks attributed to me in Friday’s article, “Debate About Curriculum Continues,” I am particularly disturbed with the editorial remark that I “refuted Fort’s comments.” In fact, I agree with Andy Fort. I even spoke with him at the meeting and indicated my support for his position. My remarks were conditional, directed at the problems which I perceived would occur if the blizzard of e-mails continued, many of which involved individual faculty designing their own core curriculum. By suggesting that I am refuting Andy Fort, you create a schema, or frame of reference, for the reader which leads to an entirely different and very controversial interpretation.
