I am patiently waiting for some idiot Senator to go on the air and say "This is wrong because most of the people named Mohammed or Ahmed are poor cab drivers and they need to have their money transfers go through"
Heres the answer and its pretty simple but no one has mentioned it. Tution. Engineering displicnes cost more then business and arts and sciences because of materials. Dont believe me, catch out tution at a private school and see if they charge more for engineering. I know my school does.
But in public schools they cant do that. So what do they do. Enforce higher standards which in turn get students out of engineering. Once the student has moved to another major, the school is making more money because it cost them less per student.
In europe india et al. there is no TUTION SYSTEM. Schools just recieve money from the government so student have zero/minimal fees. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_college#Priva te_schools_in_India/ Therefore, if a school moves a student out of engineering they still make the same money.
Im not saying that the school is purposly trying to fail you but the reality is that the school is better off with one less engineering student and one more business major
