TO THE EDITOR:
Edwin Yoder is onto something.
At Carolina, it is easier to get a degree than an education. The laxity of gen ed requirements means that our intellectual foundations are built on sand.
Here’s an idea: let’s replace English 105 — currently a jobs program for English doctoral students — with the sort of rigorous survey course endorsed by Mr. Yoder. What better basis for the rest of our education than the canonical texts of the English language?
