 In response to protests the faculty decided to undergo the decennial review process a year early, as well as to complete the process in three months instead of the usual year.In January 2018, Humanities 110 Chair professor Libby Drumm announced in a campus-wide email that the course curriculum would be restructured after years of faculty discussion and in response to student feedback as well as input from an external review committee composed of humanities faculty from other institutes, adopting a "four-module structure" that would include texts from the Americas and allow greater flexibility in the curriculum which would be integrated beginning fall 2018.The external review had not in fact been completed nor reviewed at the time of the announcement.
