Will be curious to see what effect this will have on interest/applications [b]with CS extremely difficult to get into at Tech/UVA/UMD[/b][/quote]

This never ceases to baffle me. As long as I can remember, which is a long time and spans a few countries, you hear about this massive lack of people with computer / math / engineering skills. Then, if anyone wants to acquire such skills - nope! It's really selective! Well, all those screaming about China's 300 million engineers / STEM is so much fun! / we're falling behind!!!! - let those who want to do it, do it.   [/quote]

No one will teach it because you make so much more in the industry than you ever will in academia. We need tech companies to start endowing chairs to get people to teach CS.[/quote]
Haha, I wish! I’m a CS postdoc and trust me, competition for academic positions is heavy. [/quote]
