Once BlackBerry Focused, a Campus Widens Its View

The headline is bogus; UW was never "BlackBerry Focused." If anything, the Computer Science, Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering programs sent a disproportionate number of graduates to Microsoft, IBM, and (eventually) Google through the '90's and early 2000s. BlackBerry looms large because of proximity, but its very misleading. I can't help but think that the New York Times would've noticed this if they'd looked at the recruiting numbers.

Wow, that's a terrible title, NYT.

I expected a report from RIM (now Blackberry)'s campus talking about how they're focusing on something. Definitely not a report on the University of Waterloo.

Reminds me of the #nytbooks hashtag: http://www.poynter.org/latest-news/mediawire/193943/on-twitt...
