Exciting!

Does this mean there will be more room for those who didnt get accepted into CS as their first choice major? the article isnt loading for me, probably because im on school wifi or something.

I read it over, there was no specific information about expanding the current undergrad program, except for a new major (informatics?). But, I hope it does have that positive gain (my son was wait listed, so can be admitted next spring, but not into CS).
