Faculty decide on requirement
"The class is no longer an option for the natural sciences gen ed, true, but when it was dropped, the place it held in gen ed was also dropped. Students have always had to have two course (6 credit hours) made up from natural sciences courses that were NOT CS courses. Essentially, if you took it, you get 3 hours credit. If you did not take it, you don't. Under all catalogs, you need 6 hours of natural sciences that are non-computer. This 'controversy' is actually a lot of smoke but no fire."

Bruce Anderson, Chair of Educational Programming and Curriculum Committee
