Based on a webinar conversation with the new provost, this department is headed for a substantial increase in staff. Visconsi basically said that in today's world, every student needs to have familiarity with computer science, and they will not succeed in the workplace if they did not.
Maybe the new classrooms being created in O'Kane will be used for introductory courses.

After Holy Cross, I took courses in computer programming (COBOL and Fortran) at GWU, plus courses in Operations Research, and International Economics. All paid for by NASA. Back in those days they believed in continuing your education. International economics was completely unrelated to my work. (They would pay for two years at HBS for example, one was only obligated to work for NASA for two years after your MBA.) One of my first assignments was to be part of a team trying to recruit 90 engineers in 90 days. A hiring guideline: we don't want anyone more than five years out of school. 'They are obsolete.'
