<p>Well, first of all, a huge change like this takes a huge initiative. Inertia is a powerful force. This is not a program without any risk. You really have to be very careful in designing it. You are supposed to be changing for the better but what if the opposite happens? That would look really bad and pepole may think this is too risky. It’s a little more complicated to implement in semester schools as they have less flexibilty. Also, a program like this is a huge investment for an <em>undergrad</em> program and most schools and faculty focus on graduate research and probably have their hands full already. The leadership may not view this as high on their priority list. Also, it takes a lot of time and effort from faculty members to develop the curriculum and someone has to be willing to do it. But having gone through the tradiational curriculum myself, I know exactly what they said about the problem with that curriculum. From what I read, this curriculum makes perfect sense.</p>
