Introduction

By The Committee | November 3, 2008

A blog (short for "Web log") can be used as a way for a great many people to have a discussion. This blog is a place where faculty of the University System of Georgia can discuss the current USG Core Curriculum and possible changes to that Curriculum.

Because the Committee has no more meetings at which to consider comments, the blog is now turned off. However, previously made comments are still available for you to view.
