Pratt Institute ended the School of Engineering, with the last degrees

This news was published online in what year?  I didn't have access to the internet until 2003.

How could this news have been a shock to anyone on campus?  In 1990, 1989 - when I was there - there was talk about the ARC Computer Labs, "modeling", and having to buy your own computers because there were no computers on campus for use by students.

There was never an accredited Graduate School of Engineering, and, in 1988, I was steered to the new Computer Graphics program.  I was the first single-nationality American to finish requirements for the new Computer Graphics graduate degree.  You can view, for yourself, around the web.  Some news is true.  Some news is tinted, a lot of news is held back, and not available for public knowledge.

Public Policy?  I'm Public policy.
