It will be up to Smith and Wolfson Professor of Jewish Studies Jay M. Harris, who will lead the General Education committee which is to implement the Review??s findings, to breathe life and coherence into the new curriculum.Furthermore, the Faculty repeatedly balked at making teaching evaluations mandatory for all courses.
