History

The ad hoc Blue Ribbon Commission on Educational Reform was established February 6, 1970 by the Chancellor, the Provost, and the Steering Committee of the University Senate, in response to a proposal from Mr. John Springfield on behalf of "People for the People". The commission issued its report in March 1970 after 5 weeks of intense work. Focusing on undergraduate education, the commission made recommendations on the major requirements, the general education requirements, grading policies, the freshman year, and course offerings.
