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

| Rutgers. I hate New Jersey. And any super religious school. |

| No. Even if it’s liberty or something because I know people who went to schools like that because it was all their parents would approve of or pay for. |

Unless a degree comes from a bogus curriculum/short-term/ no-name school I would like to believe people did the best they could for themselves when choosing a program. I would assume there were extenuating factors at play (job, time, geographical or financial) rather than write off someone from the start because they got a degree from an online program. IMO, there are bigger questions. Can they do the job? Can they learn reasonably quickly or easily? Are they available how and when the company needs? Do they even want this position?
And if they're way past graduation the school shouldn't really compare against their experience since then. |

| No, not really - I know that their school doesn’t define them. I do take into account major though. But a bigger detraction is that I probably wouldn’t hire someone who put their pronouns on their resume. And I’m not talked about gender neutral pronouns like they/them, I’m also talking about even if a women put she/her/hers or a man put he/him/his. I’m liberal, but I would assume that employee may be potentially difficult. |

Pronouns annoy me too, but I think there is a place for them if someone has an androgynous name. I appreciate knowing if Kelly, Cory, or even Drew is a he or she so that I can use the proper form of address (Ms.or Mr.) It is also helpful for names not derived from English language to know the pronouns of the person you are addressing. |

| No. This would be completely stupid. |

That's very humane, PP, but isn't it your job to hire someone actually competent for the job? These universities lack quality instruction, period. If you want to be humane, donate your time and give generously to charities instead. |

| University of phoenix. The resumes are usually terrible too, so it's not the only factor. |

I come from a company that hires from anywhere. We assess competency in the interview processs which includes a fairly rigorous technical exercise. We have one Liberty grad at our company; he’s pretty normal, smart, and respectful. And he has no issues using the right pronouns for our nonbinary colleague (they graduated from MIT and have nothing but respect and professionalism for the liberty grad too). Y’all are exhausting. |
