   I’m a CMU SCS alum (actually I predate SCS being a full school). Please, someone make me feel better about this. They’re renaming the school after this person.

      Sure. It's $3B for your school. Who gives a shit what names the buildings have on them. I'll never understand you whiners.

      $2B for new Miami campus (could have been in NYC, but well ...) $1B - split w $500M for CS Dept - for Pittsburg campus

      "CMU Miami will invert the traditional higher education model by organizing learning and inquiry around societal challenges rather than academic majors. It will be entirely designed and built — from first blueprints to final beam — to drive revolutionary breakthroughs that address society’s defining challenges."

         If anything, it could have been in Chicago but Kenny ran to Miami after spending a small fortune trying to install another puppet in the Illinois governor’s office after his previous one, Bruce Rauner, ran the state into the gutter.

            Anybody who believes IL was "[run] into the gutter" by Rauner is a partisan to be absolutely forever ignored. Go ahead and reinvent history (many decades of ignorance by the way) IL and the Democratic Chicago party machine have irreparably fucked the state city and it's people forever. They buried the state in debt and paid themselves ever so handsomely (ludicrous pensions and handouts to public union scumbags) ... and that's why many many people of means ... like me ... LEFT. I left before Ken though. Maybe he should have called me?
