Back in the day, wustl.edu was seen as a leader in computer applications. Sad now that it cannot just create its own systems to handle its tasks, especially with AI’s around to offer coding help. Imagine spending a fraction of this money and vectoring it to students to develop said systems.

“Just let students vibe code your ERP” is a hell of a take.

What do you think the consultants are doing? They're mostly last year's graduates anyway.

Is it any worse than an army of consultants? It would be one thing if it was some off the shelf software but a huge chunk of this project seems to be a new custom application intended for student and faculty use.

It just sounds like Accenture-ware with a new name.

Admitting "Our students cant design or code" is also pretty wild.

What you describe is possibly the one thing that would be worse than implementing Workday.
