uh, because I know Ben and he goes to the same school my son does and I spend time up in the PNW

 

oooo nice!

hahah no kidding haha

agreed..thats it is still unchanged thankfully for now.

 

Monte how was your first day of classes?

 

Speaking of school, guess who's program at ISU is likely getting closed soon... This guys... My teacher told us that they are reorganizing the entire college of Science and Engineering (the two colleges merged into one a couple years ago due to budget cuts). Well currently the College of S&E is $1.4 million in debt and with the projected budget will be another $1 million in debt by the end of this next year. The entire University is doing huge program reviews with plans of closing down programs and apparently the College of S&E has deemed the EE program as not bringing in revenue (prior to the coming reviews of programs) and may cut it and replace it with an EE technician BS degree. The are also handing the Computer Science BS degree over to the College of Business

Anyway the gist of all that, my teacher said he straight up asked the dean of the college of S&E if the president was going to close the EE department and the dean just ignored/brushed the question off and refused to answer it. That tells me one of two things, either he is going to cancel it for sure, or he is trying to fight for it but doesn't think the fighting will go well. Probably the first option though...

 

Luckily he said the accreditation program ABET will force the college to give us all enough time to graduate or they will yank the accreditation of the rest of ISU's engineering and tech programs from them. My professor also thinks (but wasn't positive) that the Northwest something or other accreditation program (this program accredits all of the universities in the northwestern region of the US on a federal level, without it none of your student can get student loans or fafsa and I think you lose all federal funding as well) will require ISU to let us graduate as well or it will pretty much crash the entire university. haha

 

not bad. Mass Comm was..well..interesting. Its an intro course. should be a piece of cake. Didn't do much in Choir. all the classes i had today.

made the jazz "band" though.

also the crossfit gym here wants me to try out for the Team regional competition with them.

and i found a bike for free!

 

Damn man! You are just all over the place down there! haha

 

ha..not really. haha but im glad to be doing stuff again.

 

You just got done doing 2 weeks worth of stuff though

 

I forgot to mention that even though they will allow us to finish the program seems to be going to shit and will only get worse if they decide to close it. They laid off one professor over the summer and transferred several to other departments leaving only 4 professors in the EE dept and they are so swamped trying to teach all the EE classes this semester that they can't even offer up office hours.

So on the off chance that it gets even worse I may do my senior year elsewhere. I was thinking U of I but Bozeman and Butte might not be too bad either.

 

I have?

Well that's rude

 

Well I guess you have been done with that for about a week now, but I was referring to the 2 week long epic meet. haha

 

Oh haha well that was just play time so I don't count that haha

 

Come to Butte!!

 

Still rude..
