Are there any colleges or universities that you refuse to hire from?

Religious scam unis, like Liberty.

Lots of students attend Liberty and other religious schools for cost and convenience. They avoid religious aspects and focus on rest of the education. It would be unfair to discriminate against them. If any, they add some intellectual diversity to these schools and develop good insight about what's going on there. They can become reformers, when given a chance.

Well, their career center needs an upgrade. The resumes I see coming out of places like Liberty might as well be a handwritten scrawl on a napkin. Pure trash. I'm willing to keep an open mind, but again, you need to compete.

Well, if your judgment is based on bad resumes, that’s valid.

I probably do have my biases against these schools, but I've also never seen a great resume from one so it's not exactly discrimination either. They need to do better. They're not sending out their graduates into the world appearing prepared.

I hope this is a joke. Rutgers is a great university. And New Jersey is one of the most well-educated states with excellent public k-12 schools in the country. Hiring someone who went to Rutgers doesn’t mean you need to visit the state.

No. I hate everything about New Jersey. I’m not hiring anyone from there or who went to school there,

LOL. Where are you from?

Choosing to go to Liberty demonstrates poor judgment.

We can’t help sometimes the biases we carry, but we can help how we act on them. If they send bad resumes, it doesn’t matter where they went to school.

I worked with 2 people early in my career that went to the University of Central Florida. They were both bigots and both useless at work. One was a female minority and one was a white male. The white male was bigoted against me personally. I was friendly with the Mom of the other and later learned the daughter was pretty racist against her boss….because I went to work for him.

As much as I disliked these people and thought they were both unskilled and nasty, I would not assume all graduates from that school are reflective of their example, particularly so many years later.

Conversely, I’ve had a couple fantastic coworkers who went to Mason. One was clearly not well educated in the subject matter but wow did he make up for it in work ethic and interpersonal skill. I now have a good opinion of people who went to Mason, because I feel the school may not be great but it attracts students interested in getting their work done and starting a career. It’s been my experience. I’m sure some people graduate from there and are terrible to work with, and also don’t have the education. But, my bias is positive. It works in all directions. Each applicant should have a set of qualifications that go into the consideration. It should never be one factor.

Surprising how prevalent this attitude is. On more than one occasion, I have read threads on other websites posted by New Jersey students asking why people from New Jersey are disliked so much. The stereotype is of a loud, mouthed obnoxious person--either sex--who is superficial with exposed chest hair--either sex again--and wearing at least one gold chain necklace--males only.

Wait, you mean there are people like that outside of Long Island?

Western south shore Long Island.

Not when you’re 17 and the only schools your dad will pay for are Liberty, Oral Roberts or Bob Jones.

It’s also apparently totally okay to discriminate against single moms and military personnel who go to online schools while working full time jobs and raising a family, because the school they went to runs commercials on daytime television. I wonder if the same people on these threads making obnoxious statements about online programs are on other threads screaming that there is no loss of productivity in telework.

Sorry, your guilt tripping has no power here.

Military personnel have the GI Bill to go to basically any 4-year, brick & mortar college or university they want upon an honorable discharge. I don’t feel any sympathy, sorry.

That is very unfortunate for single moms, but their incomes might qualify them for Pell Grants (up to $7500/year), community college is free in some jurisdictions & public universities usually options to schedule classes at various times throughout the day & evening. Also, they can take a smattering of online classes through such a school, and nobody will bat an eye.

Go to a real school.

This. Not doing due diligence and choosing a diploma mill over affordable public options demonstrates poor judgment or laziness.
And to think that GI Bill pays for this garbage and federal government recognizes them as legitimate for promotions... ugh.

Same. I’ve had horrible experiences with Ivy grads. Its mostly the snowflakes who have been riding the family money train for generations. The book smart ones aren’t interested in my field. Solid state schools seem to have the best hires. Give me Michigan State over Yale any day.

That said, if someone went to Western Central Mississippi - East Campus, type of school, I may look it up and see if its legit.

Harvard. Entitled, obnoxious, self-important but not actually impressive. I don't want to work with that attitude or lack of professionalism-they turn people off. Why hire someone that alienates everyone else? Obviously it isn't just Harvard but 100% of the people from there have fit that behavioral mold.

It’s not guilt tripping, it’s reality. If you feel guilty about it, that’s says more about you than it does about me.

Wow. You must be a very good and empathetic boss. I’m sure you’re fantastic at your job. Your coworkers must love you.

I hope you go into an office every day, since no real things happen online.
