| Question/Topic: |
Gordon rule
|
| Answer/Pointer: |
The State Board of Education Rule 6A-10.30(2), commonly known as the "Gordon Rule," specifies that all state
universities require in all baccalaureate degree programs, satisfactory completion of 12 semester hours of English
course work in which all students are required to produce written work of at least 26,000 words and completion
of 6 hours of mathematics course work at the level of college algebra or higher. Subsection (3)(d) of the rule
authorizes alternative plans to the subsection (2) requirements.
This applies to students who entered college Spring 1983 or later. The rule is named after
State Senator Jack D. Gordon of Miami Beach, who sponsored the bill in the state legislature that
requires this.
