The
Cornell Daily Sun discusses steps taken by Cornell's history department to reverse declining enrollment in its courses.
According to the story, one step was to create a minor. Another was to offer "new 1000- and 2000-level courses intended to appeal specifically to freshman and sophomores." One of these was “History of Law: Great Trials,” which drew over 100 students in its first offering. In addition, Richard Polenberg agreed to revive his "American Constitutional Development" course.
