As the field of “big data” continues to grow in importance, N.C. State University has landed a big coup – a major lab for the study of data analysis, funded by the National Security Agency.

A $60.75 million grant from the NSA is the largest research grant in NCSU’s history – three times bigger than any previous award.

[Black Agnes]

You uni has sold out to the devil.

"....the field of “big data”.."

They should call it MegaData, but that would be confusing to those who now believe that giving up you MetaData is good.
