I think that I've gotten jobs despite, not because of, my UF degree. But the skills that have let me get those jobs were burnished in research labs in the CS department. Research labs that will go away if the dean's plan goes through.

Some of us just don't believe in pulling up the ladder after we've climbed up it. Having an active department turning out competent graduates is good for us as alumni, good for Florida, and good for the field of computer science.
