Committee to evaluate University's goals By Nathan Willis writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Ten years ago, the University of Kansas set 11 broad goals for itself in general education. The time has come to see if those goals have aged well. A committee created by the provost's office is starting to examine the goals set in Fall 1989 regarding what students should get out of their basic University education. At issue is whether the goals are still the right ones for the University. "After 10 years, it's time to look at our goals," said Diana Carlin, interim assistant provost. "Are they suitable for a technological society? Are they clear enough?" Included in the options are to get rid of the current goals and form new ones, revise the current goals, delete specific goals, add new ones or do any combination of those options, Carlin said. They will turn in a final report on their suggestions for changes April 27. However, Barbara Schowen, member of the General Education Goals committee, said although it was too early to predict specific changes, not all of the possibilities were equally likely. She said in the their first meeting Oct. 7, few of the 16-member committee seemed supportive of killing the current standards and starting again. Instead, the committee is likely to make smaller revisions and additions, she said. "I think we may think about some additions," said Schowan, who is also director of the honors program and a professor of chemistry. "The one addition I know that I had in mind and some others had in mind is about science. There's no mention of the word science in any of the goals right now." Kori Green, Great Bend senior, said the point of the goals was to impact students' educations. "Hopefully, you make it out of the University having achieved those goals," Green said. "That's the whole point of them." KU'S GENERAL EDUCATION GOALS - Increase ability to acquire, develop and convey ideas and information. - Increase understanding of history. - and institutions of the United States. - Gain a greater appreciation of human diversity and an enhanced awareness of differing values, needs and customs. - Enhance sensitivity to social, political - Increase knowledge of history, mores and languages of other cultures Gain a better understanding of the role of technology. Schowen said the goals gave the University a vision. The committee will meet Monday. The provost's office also created a second committee. This committee will study the means by which the goals are evaluated and decide whether these means are adequate. - Increase appreciation for ethical disregard of human behavior Currently, a portion of graduating seniors are surveyed and interviewed by faculty to assess whether Enhance capacity for critical thinking Gain a greater appreciation of the arts. - Increase capacity for innovative thinking. - Increase knowledge of methods used by scholars to explain phenomena in the social sciences, humanities and the natural, mathematical and physical sciences. He said the committee, which has met twice, was primarily in an information-gathering mode right now. their education met the 11 current goals of the University, said Jeff Aube, professor of medicinal chemistry and chairman of the General Education Goals Assessment Process Committee. — Edited by Katie Holman (785) 843-3953 Owner W Hollywood Theaters SOUTHWIND 12 3433 IOWA 832 0880 BARGAIN MATINEES INDICATED BY () STADIUM, SFATING A+ DIGITAL 1 Three Kings **** 1:55 4.35, 7.20, 10.00 2 Random Hearts **** 1:51 4.15, 7.20, 9.00 3 The Sixth Senses **** 1:20 4.40, 7.10, 9.45 4 Bats **** 1:25 4.25, 7.15, 9.40 5 Three To Tango **** 1:35 4.20, 7.35, 9.50 6 Fight Club **** 1:30 4.00, 7.35, 9.55 7 Bringing Out The Dead **** 1:55 4.15, 7.20, 10.90 8 The Story of Us **** 1:10 4.15, 7.20, 10.30 9 American Beauty **** 1:25 4.55, 7.30, 10.00 10 Blue Streak **** 1:20 4.55, 7.30, 10.00 11 Superstar **** 1:30 4.50, 7.15, 9.25 12 Double Joopardy **** 1:40 4.50, 7.25, 9.50 PLAZA 6 2339 IOWA 841-8600 Sat & Sun Daily 1 Drive Me Crazy10 1:45 | 4:45, 7:00, 9:35 2 For Love Of The Game 11 1:30 | 4:30, 7:10, 9:50 3 The Best Man 12 1:35 | 4:30, 7:10, 9:50 4 Crazy In Alabama 13 1:45 | 4:40, 7:10, 9:45 5 Mystery, Alaska 14 1:40 | 4:35, 7:05, 9:50 6 Body Shots 15 1:40 | 4:50, 7:15, 9:30 - NO VIRT : FAXES : SUPERSAVERS * SHOWTIMES FOR TODAY ONLY A Recognition of Excellence The H.O.P.E.
