Save Tulane Engineering

I just filled out my application to graduate. One section read something like, "I want my pre-Renewal college ________ listed on my degree. yes[ ] no[ ]". I wonder how many people checked ye ...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: tying Computer Science to the Math Dept. is a bad idea. And I'm majoring in both. Paradigm shift my ass. If anything, I'd like to see the Computer Science d ...

There's only one person who can change their minds: Stephen Colbert. Scott Cowen,

YOU'RE ON NOTICE!

First, see Clay's [url=http://www.savetulaneengineering.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=539]Why I Fight post.

Second, while there's still a chance for mechanical, we've pretty much lost the fight agains ...

There's a saying about the provost's job:

It is the job of the president to give speeches, and it is the job of the faculty to think. The job of the provost is to make sure that the president does ...

math....algorithms...computer code....do you see the connection? Statistical modeling alone would be a heck of a lot easier with a math major, versus someone like myself that gets scared with anythin ...

I'm stoked about Comp. Sci & Comp. Eng. being aligned with Tulane's Math Department which is among the best in the nation

Where'd you hear that? I can't say I care for the idea, and I'm a Compu ...

UNO is looking to cut programs and tenured faculty.

Notice that UNO is expanding its engineering programs: "'We are undertaking an effort to enhance some of our programs to make them prominent.'”

One other interesting note is the $1.5 Billion (please correct me if I remember the wrong number) estimate to keep the E-School running for the next few years. Doesn't that seem astronomical?

The town hall meeting today really pissed me off. Cowen was very condescending. He was also quite rude to a certain alumnus. Lefton's correction that it was only THOSE AREAS of engineering they no lon ...

Yeah, I was floored that he thought the complaint was that it sounded like they didn't want ChemE or BME either.

"I don't want to be too negative here but an engineering degree from a defunct engineering school isn't apt to be very impressive on the old resume and at the rate Cowen is wrecking anything latrina d ...

That's not the only lie. Consider this: the renewal website says the engineering programs were chosen because they are the least world class (which is a lie in itself). Today, he said it was because i ...
