Hampshire College, retooling itself after a near-death experience several months ago, is getting rid of traditional majors and departments and instead letting students design their own curriculum.
"Hampshire is removing all barriers across fields of study to create a truly transformative liberal arts college: no majors, no departments, no curricular divisions, liberating students to formulate questions that have never been asked before," the college announced in a press release earlier this week.
Pedaling, walking, and taking public trains and buses ought to take priority over helping drivers of cars in order to achieve "transit justice," Massachusetts U.S. Representative Ayanna Pressley said.
Pressley (D-Dorchester) is co-chairman of the new Future of Transportation Caucus, which she helped introduce during a press conference in Washington D.C. on Thursday, October 17.
