Broad, lightweight courses at a Stanford tuition seems like a cash grab…. If they want exposure to humanities why not mandate a year of humanities, which is what they did at uni 50 years ago. There’s all sorts of departments they could choose from that would be way more interesting that a course intended for the aggregate entering class. Large lectures aren’t terribly interesting.
