Java on the other hand has swing, which is cross platform and effective. Not to mention that the computer science AP exam now uses java. with those two in mind, C# has no place in the education environment for universities in my opinion. maybe an elective course, and maybe in the IT department. It needs to stay out of computer science because CS focuses on how to use languages. In fact, most universities only teach a programming language in CS for the sake of keeping everyone on the same page when discussing concepts, and to give students the ability to prove what they've learned systematically. But besides that, the language used is totally agnostic.
