Try and grok Luke A. Olbrish's funny language:

Um, WRONG!  Nothing about you specifically, but the past coupla' years
the tech companies in Atlanta have been putting enormous pressure on
GATech and specifically the Board of Regents to spit out more CS majors.  
Thus, admission standards are lower, failrates lower, and graduation 
rates higher.    The latter two make GATech look better also, so they 
keep getting worse and worse about it.  I fear that the value of a
degree here is getting lower.  

but despite all my bitching, I choose to stay here b/c I feel that the
CS program is more of a guide and its up to the student to excel on
his/her own.  The guide is just holding everybody's hand a little more
now.
