Just received this response from TESC to my inquiry:
Thank you for taking the time to share your sentiments regarding our General Education Electives initiative. I would like to clarify that the courses you mentioned are a) not courses that would necessarily be required for your child's degree program. They are considered electives and therefore, you would have the option to not take those specific courses; b) not new courses. We have been offering these courses for several years; they are not new as a result of the General Education Electives requirements. Please be assured that we would not force you to take these courses, nor are we forcing your child -- or any homeschooled child -- to take them if you prefer not to. We have many other appropriate courses that you would find more suitable to your interests.
The dean of the Heavin School of Arts and Sciences will post more detailed information to our website in the next several weeks.
Please let me know if you have further questions.
I'm interested in seeing their explanation regarding these "new requirements" which they now say are neither "new" nor "required".
