University of Washington’s Computer Science Hiring Spree Nets More Kudos

It’s been a rough few years for state-supported entities in Washington, as tax collections still haven’t rebounded from the Great Recession. Among the most visible victims has been the University of Washington, which has seen its state tax funding drop by about half over the past several years.

But recently, the UW has been making headlines in a much more positive way. With a recent string of hires, the university has seriously beefed up its faculty in the area broadly known as "Big Data," becoming increasingly important in as the Web continues to grow and spread via mobile computing.

It’s an infusion of talent that UW hopes will allow it to attract high-quality students to its programs.
