I went to a top tier school and we had that too before all this started, but our ‘breadth’ requirements weren’t necessarily as strict. For the most part, no matter your major, you had to take base level writing/reading classes, math classes, science classes, a history class, an art class, etc. Within that, you could hit all the requirements and still not hit a single studies class, though you could take a studies class for an easy A if you weren’t a white guy, which was probably their main appeal to people.
Here in the Bay, that’s probably changing now. I’m hearing we’re going to have mandatory black studies type classes, which is a departure from what it was before. Before it really was just ‘take a wide variety of classes at least once to expand your horizons’. Now it’s moving towards ‘take Double Think 101, 102, 103, and 151, bigot‘. Even APA formatting has now been changed to capitalize ‘Black’ and keep ‘white’ in lower case in reference to race. Why not just replace black with ‘God’ and get it over with?
