Collapse of Engineering

The School of Engineering lost its entire graduate program. As a voluble professor from that school explained to the Faculty Senate, 100% of the students in the program were Bangladeshis who had zero interest in studying engineering and used this program as a way to get visas into the US. Once the visas started getting denied, the “students” stopped coming.

I’m not surprised about the situation but I did find it shocking that this is so openly and casually admitted by the professors themselves.

“Why don’t you try to attract American students, then?” asked a faculty senator.

“Oh, they won’t come here,” explained the professor. “People with the actual brains to become engineers will go to a good school with a real program.”

See my previous post for an explanation of how we are doing everything to not be a real school and instead remain a visa scam. The only person who routinely votes against these measures and measurettes is me. Sometimes I’m joined by one other person, who is always either a Middle Eastern or an Indian professor with no fucks left to give.
