Blizzard fires WoW Classic lead after he protests employee evaluation policy

I thought it was just "class", as in "CS class of 2023"?

The term I'm looking for, though, is the set of batches abstracted over time. That is, all students who take CS at particular faculty of particular university, regardless of the year they started. A sequence of "batches". Such students will share curriculum and specific teaching staff. This is in contrast to another such group that e.g. does Applied CS at the same faculty, or Theoretical Physics at different faculty.

I don't think there is one word for what you are referring to. But you could have said:

> For almost every major, scholarships were awarded to the top X% of students of that major.

Thanks, that seems closest to what I meant, perhaps exactly so. Could you look at the diagram I edited in after you posted your reply, and tell me if "major" is the right term for this?

That table was a lot of effort.

Yes, I believe "students of a major" is the best term.

I did the table in Emacs (Org Mode), so it didn't take that much of effort: Org Mode auto-aligns the table as you modify i, and has plenty of shortcuts to quickly add/remove/rearrange rows and columns :).

(I did some manual post-processing inside HN text box though, as Org Mode doesn't support having single cells spanning multiple columns or rows.)

"Graduates", maybe? As in, "the Division of Robotics and Bioinformatics Applied CS graduates."

I mean primarily current students (relative to the time point being discussed), not former students.

Possibly “alumni”?

Although that usually refers to former students, and doesn’t include current students.
