I was complaining to him about what I thought was the overly broad and simplistic curriculum of CS i experienced and he said it's still too hard for students, they've had to dumb way down the weeder classes, and he said he knew it was that way at other schools as well.
Take it for what you will but from what I typically saw of the average student at an above average school - i was not really that impressed.
fun fact, though - my class, 2018, was the best CS class the school has ever seen. I finished with a 3.8 and didn't even qualify for honors awards.
