Some campus politics also flying about-If one of the twin primary goals of the Liberal Arts curriculum is to teach students communication skills, why not remove half of the required Liberal Arts courses and replace them with courses from the Communications department? After all, it's more of their specialty. This would, of course, have the side effect of cutting the Liberal Arts faculty in half, and more than doubling the Communications faculty, so it's resisted strongly by some parties.

The question of which skills are being taught and who is supposed to teach them continues to occupy a great deal of University planning time.
