Remzi Arpaci-Dusseau
UW-Madison leadership is considering the creation of a new college focused on computing, reflecting the technology’s increasingly central role across other disciplines.
That’s according to Remzi Arpaci-Dusseau, director of the university’s School of Computer, Data & Information Sciences. He spoke yesterday during a Wisconsin Technology Council luncheon in Madison, where he said the new college is “under strong consideration” and could be officially proposed to the Board of Regents this year.
Arpaci-Dusseau said the idea is to elevate CDIS into a college that focuses on AI and other computing applications. Currently, he noted no one who’s working on these areas is currently involved in leading the campus.
