During his ten years as Provost of UCLA ’s College of Letters and Science , Copenhaver led successful efforts to revamp UCLA ’s General Education curriculum , implement a stronger writing requirement and make the Internet and Web technology an integral part of academic life for students and faculty . He was also instrumental in the College ’s fund-raising campaign , raising five times more than the previous capital campaign . On his watch , UCLA ’s College became the first in the country to establish a website – supported by student fees – for every undergraduate course . In response to the September 11 attacks , he worked with Vice-Provost Judi Smith to design the first offering of UCLA ’s renowned Fiat Lux courses , and to recruit faculty to teach them on short notice . Copenhaver is currently teaching his own online course , while advising other faculty and staff about this new – and controversial – way to teach and learn
