We had the second candidate interview for the Honors Program Director position. So far, the two candidates have both had some good ideas and both are deicated to the job. WE have three more to go, including two tomorrow.

It is interesting that so far many of the same issues have come up in both interviews. What is it we really want our honors program to be? What kind of funding will it get/does it need? And we have also disucssed how to work honors courses in given the IHL Board has mandated an evenutal cap of 124 hours for an undergraduate degree. At a time when the world is becoming more complex, the problems more difficult to define and solve, and the need for education is even greater, the Board decides to cap the hours in a program of study.
