Posted by timothy on from the could-turn-it-into-a-concept-and-then-an-Idea. dept.

New submitter WIGFIELD7458 writes "This appears to be a major change in plans that will save the Computer Science Department. Thanks to everyone in the Gator Nation and beyond for speaking out! The battle isn't over yet, but this is very encouraging news. I would urge the students, faculty, and alumni of UF to continue to express your support for the essential academic mission of your university."

    The Plan:
    1) Triple the tuition for traditional students (i.e. nerdy males).
    2) Give full scholarships to nontraditional students (i.e. attractive females).
    3) Allow nontraditional students to earn extra credit by pretending to be interested in traditional students.
    4) Profit!

      I guess I should have known better than to post something that would cause 90% of slashdot readers to vividly relive very painful memories.

    Please tell me that a complex plot is involved, possibly involving George Clooney in disguise.

    Perhaps they should had closed the CS department if their faculty is trolling Slashdot all the time. Why aren't you trying to get grants, or teaching undergrads?

    If you don't get 30 FPs in the first seven years, no tenure.
