* Undergrad education reviewed
By Mary Barouh
Undergraduate curriculums
are fragmented and lack depth,
said one of the authors of a
national report in a recent visit to
Western.
A cohesive program similar to
those existing in the 50's is one of
the ways to restore excellence in
u n d e r g r a d u a t e educatiion,
Harold Enarson said.
Enarson, former president of
Ohio State University, served as
a member of the Association of
American Colleges, based in
Washington, D.C., which issued
a report critical of undergraduate
education.
The report "Integrity in the
College Curriculum: a Report to
the Academic Community"
(1985), was required reading for
Western's faculty this quarter.
Enarson noted the report does
give credit to colleges where
credit is due. He said it is important,
however, to examine the
process that fragmented education
and resulted in a lack of
depth.
"The objectives are to review,
renew and refresh the undergraduate
curriculum," he said.
"Excellence was prominent in
American education in the '50s
after the U.S.S.R. launched
Sputnick," he said.
The resulting competition for
technological superiority
between the two countries
emphasized the need for sound
education.
"The process that fragmented
the curriculum was underway in
the '60s," he said.
"The '70s were a demographic
nightmare," he said, with
declines in enrollment among
students in the 18-to-21 -year-old
category leading to dire predict
i o n s on the future of
universities.
An increase in the numbers of
returning older students and he
entrepeneurial zeal of institutions
helped compensate for the
losses, he said.
In the past few years, lower-division
education has been
examined and now review has
graduated to the university level,
he said.
"Students were found to be
inarticulate in foreign languages
and inarticulate in their own
tongue," he said.
Professors complained about
not being able to teach the subject
matter and instead having to
teach reading to students who
were ill-prepared for college, he
said.
A renaissance in education has
begun, he noted, with higher
scores reported on the various
pre-college tests.
While a need exists to find specialization
and depth, "excellence
is not to be pursued by any
one aspect—all are important,"
he said.
"The shopping mall (approach)
is here to stay," he said,
as universities continue to offer
variety of course work to meet
the demands of employers.
States are putting dollars on
the line to improve education, he
added.
Four faculty members
responded to Enarson's remarks
and addressed issues raised by
the report within the context of
the undergraduate program at
Western.
Allan Sleeman, of the business
and economics department, said,
"Students are poorly prepared to
benefit from higher education."
He said he thinks most students
are not "intellectually curious."
Sleeman offered a seven-point
proposal to remedy some of the
discrepancies.
The proposal also examined
the recommendation that students
study two hours for every
hour spent in class; a suggestion
for ending the quarter system to
allow time for depth in studies;
whether grades are inflated or
reflect the true level of work
