Hyde snark: what about the uchicago innovation exchange and the booth entrepreneurial challenges? Have they made an impact on the entrepreneurial feel of the CS students/dept?

Also, not sure if the school is doubling down on theory or looking to challenge the heavy hitters, but this Michael franklin guy sounds legit. He was the CHAIR of Berkeley’s CS dept, not some promising underling who received a promotion by coming to chicago. It’s rare for Chicago to be able to make such a prominent lateral hire, so I wonder what they are throwing at him.
