Task Force Final Report

The MIT Task Force on the Undergraduate Educational Commons has released its final report. For the past two and a half years, the two dozen MIT faculty members and undergraduate students on the Task Force have comprehensively reviewed MIT's General Institute Requirements and other aspects of the common educational experience of MIT students.

A draft of the Task Force's report and recommendations was delivered to President Susan Hockfield and to members of the Academic Council in early October. The Task Force has now delivered its final report, and President Hockfield has issued a response.

With the release of the final report, the Faculty and faculty committees begin a period of discussion about the report and its recommendations. Check out the News section of this site for upcoming events and articles about the report.

PDF versions of both the full report and a summary of the report and recommendations are available below. Printed copies of the report will be distributed in November. Also available is an Overview of the Work and Recommendations of the Task Force (PDF: 123KB) and a story from the MIT News Office, "Proposed undergraduate curriculum balances rigor, flexibility."

Comments about the report may be submitted and viewed on the Faculty site.
