louis_fyne··on Computer science enrollment data suddenly shows a big drop
> It is an interesting situation to be sure. Not my place to say what they say or do. I'm just commenting about the situation.

Not your place to say what they say or do but you're doing exactly that? You're bringing politics into the comment and then throwing your hands up and saying "not my place to speak on this" when you are questioned about it.

> That's it. And that's a course, not even a degree or certification.

I see many universities and colleges in Ontario (where I am), for example, that offer post-grad programs on AI. I can't find a single school that has outright banned it. Do you have a source for these claims you are making? I might be uninformed if it is an American or European school but post-secondary institutions in this country seem to be generally supportive.

louis_fyne··on The hottest college major [Computer Science] hit a wall. What happened?
> they are leftists who publicly oppose AI. They created the new Chief of AI Officer who has no support at all from the univeristy

The "leftist" administration created a position while at the same time speaking out against AI? Doesn't seem realistic.

> Whereas the college straight up opposes AI.

Opposes AI in what way? No courses on it? Does not allow students to utilize it? I have a hard time believing they do not offer a single course on any AI subject. Many colleges are offering it as a post-grad option, at least in Canada.

> But what value is any of their degrees anymore? Suspicious at best.

In general? I don't understand what you are getting at here.
