Is there a problem with "Core Curriculum" schools?

My guess is, it’s harder to design and implement a core curriculum than it might seem.

More so if the college is trying to be a “general” college, rather than one with a strong focus area, since a “general” college needs to accommodate a wider range of student academic interests as well as more competing viewpoints on what should or should not be in the core curriculum.

That’s why I suggested previously that for such a “general” college, if it wants to ensure its students have broader exposure to core subjects (and the techniques used to investigate those subjects), it could create more than one “core” curriculum to suit the needs of different students.
