It is also possible that Dean’s Council will propose that teaching required general education courses and directing/facilitating immersive experiences for students should be recognized in a new model of acknowledging faculty workload.
What does this mean?
-
a more optimally organized distribution of responsibilities across faculty and staff.
Show how.

What are the budgetary implications of this proposed platform?
This question remains unanswered.

The CCEE will be responsible for making and maintaining partnerships (not-for-profit, corporate, government) and providing infrastructure for experiences (logistics, advertising, scheduling, transportation and travel, recordkeeping) and other forms of faculty suppor
Though this sentence acts as if it were so, these offices do not all do the same thing. (Classic faculty: it's not us, so it's all the same.) Supporting academic programs (Global, Civic) is not the same as helping students get jobs after college.

eer and experiential efforts are coordinated
Again, why do these things need to be coordinated? What's the benefit? Educational programs are educational.

her bodies that are central to experiential education,
What other bodies?
How is experiential education (if that's a thing) more related to professional development than other things, like, say, writing or thinking?

DREW 300 (0 credits
How does this work? When do they sign up for it? Is the regitrar's office going to manually input all of these? What could go wrong?

Does this completely replace the current requirements? It's a radical switch, if so, by a committee with only a few faculty after a few months of secret meetings.

This model is not detailed enough at this point to move towards creating an implementation strategy;

What's the point of this? Sounds like throwing small majors a bone. For the record, we didn't see a drop in double-majors when we increased the size of GE.

Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities, rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation; an education system flush with cash but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of all knowledge; and the crime and the gangs and the drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential.
This is an absurdly bleak picture.

This is literally true
The first half is true, the second half not so much. Many got wealthier, but it was not sufficiently distributed.
