To this day, I don't understand why the Discover section on new tabs in mobile Chrome is disconnected from Google News. It makes no sense to be managing interests and news sources in both places, but here we are and here we've been for years.
I graduated from the CS program in the late 00s and have interviewed grads of the program over the years since. The old, out of touch professors that were there then are still there today. Many of the good professors teaching useful, applicable skills moved on to greener pastures. The "reduce staff" guidance should motivate the department to cut off that dead weight, but it won't. They'll keep the worst and tank the program more.
The program has also taken the position that it's more important to teach the theory than any hands on application of skills in a modern environment. It's a disservice to the students because they graduate not knowing how to use something as pervasive as git. The program's faculty and administration - already gainfully employed - aren't the ones being turned down for jobs for being unqualified after all. They get to carry on with their cushy lifestyles existing outside of reality.
Make no mistake - there are quality professors and talented people coming out of the program. It's just that the quality professors aren't the ones setting the course of the program, and the talented students would probably have been as successful no matter which school they attended.
It's so frustrating to know that the program could be more, it just chooses not to. So goes the story of West Virginia.
