Dean Montemagno of CEAS has announced a town meeting to be held on Thursday,
Feb. 3. It is my understanding that during this meeting he intends to announce a “plan”
for CEAS that includes the indefinite suspension of undergraduate admissions to the
Computer Science (CS) undergraduate program. Since this is tantamount to cancelling
this program, I will refer to it as a cancellation in what follows. I am writing to ask you
to consider the consequences of such a dangerous and bizarre potential action.
The reason that I am writing to you directly is the failure on part of the Dean to
properly inform the CS faculty of his plan......
A good part of my academic career was spent building up the computer science
program here at UC (see www.cs.uc.edu/~jpaul). The CS program has enjoyed
remarkable success, in spite of the unconscionable lack of support that it has received
since being moved from A&S to the College of Engineering (COE now CEAS) in 1994.
This lack of local support can be well documented, and flies in the face of local, State,
and National priorities. I would be happy to provide detailed documentation if desired......

This is an eye opening letter that tells a whole lot of things about the sinister plans against CS that have been deliberately into work in UC since long.
