The School of Industrial and Labor Relations recently announced changes to its curriculum after more than 30 years, including a new introductory course, more options for data science and statistics classes and an upper-year writing requirement. The new changes will be implemented starting in the fall of 2022, introducing a variety of new graduation requirements that incoming freshmen will have to complete.
According to Alexander Colvin, Ph.D. ’99, ILR’s Kenneth F. Kahn ’69 Dean and Martin F. Scheinman ’75, M.S. ’76 Professor, industrial and labor relations, the last major review of the ILR curriculum was conducted in 2006 and did not lead to any major changes. In 2017, former Dean Kevin Hallock gathered an ILR Undergraduate Curriculum Review Committee chaired by Colvin to conduct an extensive review of the curriculum.

School District families debate critical race theory
By Tori Mason
CENTENNIAL, Colorado (KCNC) The Cherry Creek School District is looking for a different approach to teaching history, but some families aren’t on board with proposed changes. At the end of the school year, the CCSD announced their commitment to making lessons more racially and culturally inclusive. Dozens of people debated Critical Race Theory at their board meeting Wednesday evening.
Critical Race Theory is an academic concept that’s causing a stir in education systems nationwide. Critical Race Theory is an academic concept with the core idea that racism is a social construct that’s embedded in social, legal and political systems, Education Week reports. Proponents of critical race theory say that its teachings show how race is implemented into history and that it does not teach that any race is inherently racist. Critics say the theory is divisive and discriminatory.
