No Swift for UW's Certificate in iOS

From the article : we will present examples in both Objective-C and Swift and will include a few weeks of Swift coverage as part of the second or third course.

A strong foundation of knowledge in Objective-C will still be key to being a strong iOS developer. Since the program is still going to be showing some swift examples, and including some time on the language, I am confused as to why the poster is inferring from the title that not using swift in their certification process is such a big deal.

I would not hire an iOS developer that was only certified in swift. I can see the argument to include swift into the certification process, but I would not assume that universitys will immediately change their process without at least seeing how swift matures.
