    I ate a bagel litterally 20 feet from where this was announced this morning. No joke. I go to Carnegie Mellon. Anyway, the article is wrong, the computer department is separate from CIT (Carnegie Institute of Technology, the engineering school). Computer Science is its own self contained department.
