<p>After some interaction with Zimmer, I would say he is indeed interested in undergrads, but he has more on his plate than the College. This is more Boyer’s job. Boyer is largely responsible for the improvements in student life. He is not without his critics, both on and off campus. Some feel he has not looked critically enough at the Core and has let it become a little less demanding and more gameable (if that’s a word?). This is not in referrence to the changes in number of courses, but to their quality control. I happen to think overall he has done an admirable job re: student life, but could have a little more focus on life of the mind. Still, I don’t know if anyone could do a better job.</p>
