Weakening the core By Carisa Nietsche Daily Texan Guest Columnist

e Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board recently released recommendations that would change the way higher education institutions across the state ap- proach the core curriculum. UT submitted an institutional response to the coordinating board last week, and students submitted an additional response Monday, the last day for public commentary on the recommendations. With the goals of transferability, work force readiness and a ordability in mind, the coordinating board seems to be overlooking the important objective of quality in its decisions. Of the three major changes, two a ect the way in which students would experience the core. e rst recommendation of the board creates six core objectives that would be ful lled in several courses throughout the core. ese core objectives are reminiscent of the ag system adopted at UT. e University chose to implement ags in various courses throughout a student’s degree plan to keep the quality of core courses focused on the courses’ subjects. UT and the coordinating board have the same end goals in mind but two di erent approaches to achieving these goals. e University knows its students better than the coordinating board and should consequently be able to apply these objectives in a way that is productive for its students. In the new, proposed core curriculum, these objectives would be ful lled through the core curriculum instead of a student’s degree plan. An extreme example of this can be found in the application of the communication objective. e communication objective would include written, visual and oral communication and would be required in math courses in the new core. A math class struggling to ful ll requirements that are not directly relevant to the content of the course itself may inhibit the ability to actually teach math, thus reducing the quality of the course itself. With what seems like an arbitrary application, quality courses seem to be low on the board’s priority list. With countless examples of a single course having to ful ll too many objectives in the new core, these recommendations put UT at risk of diluting the core curriculum. Currently, six hours of the core curriculum are up to the discretion of each indi- vidual institution. Many institutions, including UT, ful ll these six hours with inter- disciplinary introductory courses, such as the UGS seminar course. e coordinating board is mandating institutions to utilize current core subject areas — such as English The ‘Texas Miracle’ language, science and technology or U.S. history — to ful ll these hours. Essentially, the UGS courses would be eliminated from the core, and the money used to create By Samantha Katsounas them would go to waste.

Texas getting ready for Iowa State NFL

By Austin Laymance Daily Texan Staff REDSKINS

It’s time for Texas to get back to business. The Longhorns took advantage of their bye week, getting a few days off to recover and prepare COWBOYS for the start of Big 12 Conference play, which begins on Saturday at Iowa State. Most players spent time with their families during the bye, with MLB senior linebacker Emmanuel Acho flying to Philadelphia to attend a wedding. Acho, though, watched CARDINALS game film of Iowa State (3-0) during his flights. He understands what’s at stake for the Longhorns (3-0) this time around after losing to the Cy- clones, 28-21, a season ago in Aus- ASTROS tin. Texas got caught looking past Iowa State then, but the Long- horns say they’ve learned from it. “Some of the problems we had last year was overlooking opponents and after a year like last RED SOX you know not to take anybody for granted,” Acho said. “We know we can’t make that mistake again.” The loss certainly caught the Longhorns off guard.
