It could be about budget. It could also be perceived incompetence.

If students don’t seem to be getting benefit from education by professors who focus solely on mathematics, then that problem needs to be understood.

This is the second time this has happened according to the tweet, and the professors have been unable to defend themselves both times.

Maybe someone should offer to assist in improvement of the program. It’s probably a fine place to work if they want to stay there this much.
