What does the temporary freeze on Core Curriculum proposals mean?
Due to the realignment of colleges and departments in the summer 2003, as well as a reassessment of the structure of the core, the University Core Curriculum Committee proposed a resolution to establish a temporary freeze on course proposals to the core curriculum. This freeze was approved by University Council in April 2003 for implementation until July 2004 (CUSP Resolution 2002-03B), and it was recently extended to July 2005. The freeze says the following: Effective November 1, 2002 no new courses will be added to the Virginia Tech University Core Curriculum, nor will courses be considered for removal from the Core Curriculum except as described below.
