Odd

Five undergraduate programs are being dropped: civil and environmental engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science, computer engineering and exercise and sports science.

Tulane University got rid of their Civil Engineering program in the wake of Katrina. Doesn't that seem odd? At the time when New Orleans needs to be rebuilt, the biggest university there dissolves the training for people that build things. I'm sure a lot of graduates helped build and rebuild the levees all these years.
