<p>I have heard that Middlebury will be expanding its Comp Sci department. Does anyone here know anything about that, what it might signify, and what the consequences of same might be?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Well, from what I hear, the dept is booming. The core faculty of the program never wavered in their commitment to rigor even as enrollments nationwide in Comp Sci leveled off and declined. More importantly, they also saw and see the value of linking to other disciplines (e.g., to strengthen bioinformatics offerings, for example). Their newest faculty member, David Kauchak is very much loved by students and has added much to the program. With enrollments growing significantly, the dept will most likely seek additional faculty. They can use it.</p>
