In a shocking decision today, the Tulane University Board of Trustees voted to eliminate several degree programs.
These include Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Computer Science.
All faculty in these departments were told that their contracts would expire in June 2007.
God knows, we need to keep critical programs like Russian, Portuguese, Musical Theatre, Medieval Studies, Women's Studies, Jewish Studies, Digital Media Production, and African Studies.
Why would Tulane need to produce people that know how to create computer networks, power grids, or, say, levees?
They are also laying off over 130 faculty from the Med School. I guess we don't need doctors either.
See more here for undergrads, and here for grad programs.
Unbelievable...
Stumbled on this post while revisiting FYYFF in Ashley's memory. As a Tulane CS graduate from the 80's, I want to congratulate TU on sticking with its stupidity and not restoring their program. My son is off to college in the fall, as a Computer Engineering major. Thanks to TU's vastly stupid decision, Georgia Tech will get another one of our N.O. kids. For all our City is doing to recruit Tech folks, its a shame that Tulane is doing its part to drive away native-born tech types.

Casilla could be the 2nd baseman now, and Plouffe should be moved in the direction of the corner outfield spots to hold much better benefit of his energy possible in the plate.
