I saw a lot of articles making a big deal about the enrollment dip in CS at Berkeley. All of them came to the conclusion that it was a demand side issue. But this article actually looked at the data and calls out something I haven't seen anywhere else:

That Berkeley cut the number of people they are admitting to the CS major significantly, mostly due to $80/hr rate negotiated by the TAs.

Applications to the CS program are at an all time high. I thought it was an interesting counterpoint to the doom and gloom about AI making people not want to study computer science anymore.

(And I don't fault the TAs for negotiating that rate -- here in the Bay Area it's pretty much necessary to afford housing, and still less than they would get working outside the University)
