Definitely. Keeping with the times the oldest technological institute in
the US was trying to reinvent itself as a university and wanted to broaden
the horizons of STEM philistines so they would bring speakers and
performances on campus.

Long after I graduated they completely jumped the shark.

That would be fine but their rating slipped from the top 3 to somewhere in
the middle of the pack. They're putting a lot of emphasis on a degree
program in video gaming and hope to revitalize the local economy with
gaming companies.

I'm not much of a gamer but I do realize the industry rakes in money like
porn sites so maybe they're on to something. At least the DEI president
who was once the highest paid private school president is gone. They
didn't get their money's worth. She checked off the black and female boxes
but afaik she wasn't a lesbian.

Alumni association emails go directly to the junk folder.
