husker_99 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Doesn't surprise me. I don't know if there are a lot of jobs for programmers in Florida but if there is not i can see why. Quote Link to comment
Omaha-Husker Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I have no issues with raising the athletic budget at schools like Florida, Nebraska ect. These types of places athletics bring in a lot of money and students to the university. I do think cutting computer science is woefully shortsighted though. Quote Link to comment
husker_99 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I do think cutting computer science is woefully shortsighted though. Maybe they weren't getting enough CS students. It is around a warm weather place year around so trying to get students to stay indoors all the time would be hard. Quote Link to comment
Muck Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 What a terrible article. "I'm not saying it's football's fault...I just threw it out there so YOU would associate it with the decision." Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 CS is such a fundamental discipline, as many students as UF has (it's a lot, right?) I am stunned that they could cut the dept. Quote Link to comment
