Hi, Victoria, you're getting great advice from others but if you want to
tell your bosses that there was a chorus of NO!!!!s, and NUTS!!!
I'll add mine.
The linked to a foundations course idea seems best but you might also
consider -- depending on the group -- a small program that York Faculty of
Arts has (or used to, anyway) for students from high school who were
admitted with the assumption that they were 'in jeopardy' ... of
dropping out. They call the course 'Steps to Arts' and it is 6 credits
(like other first year College Courses), content rich with a strong
critical skills/writing focus. Mary Louise Craven has taught it and could
tell you more than I can. [log in to unmask]
