Mooney, Carolyn J.
Chronicle of Higher Education, v35 n16 pA1,11-13 Dec 14 1988
In March, after two years of debate that followed complaints by minority students, Stanford's faculty voted to replace the university's year-long Western culture requirement with a new requirement called "Cultures, Ideas and Values." Courses will be required to give attention to the issues of race, gender, and class. (MLW)
