posted message: A couple of weeks ago I attended a meeting of the System Advisory Group for the Liberal Arts where the main topic of conversation was the flexible degree. I'm including some of my notes.
Kevin Reilly, Ray Cross, and Mark Nook as well as Debra Humphreys (AAC&U) were at the meeting. They all emphasized the importance of a liberal arts education, highlighting this as an integrative experience. The System shared learning goals were expected to be a part of any flexible degree program. Reilly was interested in a mini-conference that would involve talking with business leaders. Also, developing discipline teams to look into how to develop a flexible degree program was discussed (the consortial nursing program was mentioned as an example).
