Academic rigor ... adjusted to snowflake sensitivities.

Is this how civilizations end, by suicide?

Note to American employers, the Indian Institute for Technology (IIT) has no such weaknesses or accommodations, and a pool of desperate millions to draw from. They will work under enormous pressure, for decreased wages, under the constant threat of losing their H1-B. Universities, please do try to compete with that.

This is EXACTLY how we got the Boeing 737 MAX.

"A group of (mostly senior) faculty will review the introductory programming courses to ensure that they are inclusive of students from all backgrounds....A relaxation of grading on coding style."

This is amazing. You can't fake coding. Might be able to fake being scum master or even PM for a short time, but you can't fake coding.

Accumulate 2 or 3 short-hop code-shop changes before 25, and these kids are completely exposed to the next hire.

“Allowing students to work together in a group for part of their grade instead of requiring them to complete all graded work individually.”

Giving up your individuality for the collective.

Yeah! That will work! Just check out Ayn Rand!

The Left eating their own.

Who would hire such idiots? The students, not the professor.

So all U of W grads are worthless. All resumes from UoW go in the circular file, or are automatically deleted from e-mails.

The list is growing...

University of Washington Computer Science and ENGINEERING.

I can’t wait to ride on Boeing airplanes “engineered” according to these wokeness standards.

They are bad enough already.

Not to mention Boeing defence products.

Putin just laughs at this stuff.

Allowing students to work together in a group for part of their grade instead of requiring them to complete all graded work individually.

A reduction in the amount of effort expended pursuing cheating cases by 50 percent even though there has been no reduction in cheating cases.

Great, anybody with a computer science & engineering degree from University of Washington is now unemployable. I think I'd file a counter-grievance over that if I was a student there.

Mark Steyn recently spoke about Cultural Confidence.

The confidence of having the Others fit into your culture, and asserting that your culture is good.

The use of gender-neutral names like Alex and Jun instead of Alice and Bob.

Alice, Bob and Eve (along with a cast of others) are standard names in cryptographic problems. Maybe we can change Eve the eavesdropper to James Comey.

The use of names that reflect a variety of cultural backgrounds: Xin, Sergey, Naveena, Tuan, Esteban, Sasha. An avoidance of references that depend on cultural knowledge of sports, pop culture, theater, literature, or games.

Take a minute, look it up on Wikipedia and figure it out. Usually the programming assignments I saw were well enough defined that you didn't need any external knowledge. For example, a bowling scoring assignment would explain how scoring is done so you didn't need to know about bowling to write the program.
