I can't deny that the department being cut back is a good one. But sometimes there isn't room for all the good departments.

I plant 4 tomato plants every spring. In a few weeks I pull up 2 of them, even if they are thriving. There is only so much soil, water and sunlight to go around.

Great point. After all, computer science is a relatively unimportant discipline. It's obviously a waning field. As we've seen in the news, people with CS degrees don't make much money and almost never get rich, so they are unlikely to donate to schools later on in life.

AsI understand it, there are several CS departments in the college. Several tomato plants.

Tomatoes? EE one of 5 CS department? All the good courses (and one bad one)I had were taught by CISE faculty.

No, they're potatoes. The CISE ones are conveniently chopped into french fries. Turlington's is still raw.
