HPC Opposes Attempt To Amend CEP Plan

The Harvard Policy Committee unanimously opposed Tuesday the Moise amendment to the program of the Committee on Educational Policy as "deleterious to undergraduate education at Harvard.

Michael E. Abram '66, chairman of the HPC, made public yesterday the HPC's statement on the amendment. The statement will be presented at the faculty meeting next Tuesday by Dean Monro.

The amendment, proposed by Edwin E. Moise, James Bryant Conant Professor of Education and Mathematics, urger making departmental courses equivalent to General Education courses. Under this plan departmental courses would be in open competition with Gen. Ed courses and students could satisfy their Gen Ed requirement with either.

The HPC statement argues that the CEP program provides sufficient flexibility in choosing courses and allows gifted students to fulfill their requirement "at a level commensurate with their demonstrated academic maturity."
