Would a Hillsdale graduate have reduced professional opportunities?

What?! You just disqualified yourself from any intelligent conversation.

Wrong not that poster.

I own a multinational company we do not hire from any of the above. Recruiters try and those resumes do not get even an interview.

Florida is completely off our list given recent changes. And I have removed my families personal scholarship fund that went back decades. I am fourth gen graduate of UF . Millions now are at another state University that believes in academics.
.

UF gets more applications and is more selective than ever. It has soared in the rankings since DeSantis has been governor. Sorry your kids didn't get in despite all the money you donated.

Try again

UF is garbage now that De Santos ruined it. What do you not understand about the number of faculty that have left and how academics are no longer science based?
Next up we have :
The university's search for a new president has drawn heavy criticism for perceived secrecy and lack of public transparency.The Scandal: U.S. Senator Rick Scott publicly criticized the process, citing concerns about candidate vetting and multi-million-dollar payouts. Despite this, the university named former University of Alabama president Stuart R. Bell as its sole finalist.

The Situation: Governor Ron DeSantis reappointed UF Board of Trustees member James “Bill” Heavener to his position.The Scandal: Heavener's reappointment was heavily criticized because two former employees at a Los Angeles film school linked to him filed complaints accusing him and his institutions of defrauding the government out of tens of millions of dollars by inflating job placement numbers.

My kids went to MIT, Princeton and Stanford. From Public school in MD by the way.

No one with brain cells sends kids to schools in red states right now with the laws that are changing.

MAGA cult of stupidity

Sure they did, geed. And my last three scores were Sydney Sweeney, Megan Fox, and Taylor Swift.

DP: Sorry -- I am no fan of DeSantis or MAGA. I'm very glad NOT to be an academic working at UF or any state school in FL. But the massive influx of money -- to give merit scholarships and to keep in-state tuition very low -- has definitely attracted many great students. Unfortunately, the lack of support for research will hollow out the universities in the medium to long term, but in the short term, UF gives students great bang for the buck.

Foyine girls guy! It's been too long. I see you're using coding tricks so you can continue using your favorite word.

Too bad those ladies don't date former BMOC Greek finance bros. You should have gotten some nasty tattoos or spent your youth crashing heads with other burly dudes.

Lol, pretty soon after the MAGA makeover of Washington is complete, a Hillsdale degree will be practically required to get a job in this town. (Or at least an SEC degree).

It’s amazing how many DCUMers still don’t get it- it’s the Ivy/ WASP type liberals who will be going begging in the new America.

And yet, most of the Trump inner circle are all Ivy grads, including Trump.

I’ve been lurking to see if anyone was going to mention this

Everything is correct except the AI hallucinated a bit. Your kids actually went to Towson, JMU, and GMU.

As someone who worked in the public sector in CA, I think this is dependent upon the background of the individual. I’ve never heard anyone being automatically refused consideration because of their undergraduate school.

Hillsdale does not provide any demographic information, but it is estimated to be about 2/3 white, close to Catholic schools like ND, Holy Cross and Villanova.

In my old workplace, working well with people from numerous socioeconomic backgrounds is essential, including LGBTQ people. If an applicant had the expertise with a background that demonstrated this, my guess is that they would be given consideration.

After all, we aren’t talking about the Federalist Papers at work, but surely Hillsdale has a career center that can provide more reliable information than the people here.

Because there are a lot of reputable schools where he can get tradition without the baggage -- or feeling like an outsider. The people at Hillsdale are there for more than just the look of the place -- if he's not all in on the politics, he won't truly be comfortable there.

Likes dressing up? Look at Sewanee
Likes a "young men going places" vibe? Look at Hampton-Sydney
Likes old-school manners? Washington & Lee, Auburn or Alabama
Likes the clean-cut Master of the Universe look? Babson or Bentley

Thanks, I will look into your suggestions.

It's just intellectually lazy to classify people into groups based on your own predetermined biases. Saying a kid from Hillsdale is some MAGA nut is the same as saying all black people are criminals. It's staggering that more leftists don't see that...

Back to the topic (which is just political clickbait), each candidate should be judged on the entirety of their profile - not just where they went to school. I'd rather hire someone who comes from Community College with a lesser pedigree but works hard vs. a blue haired, trust fund high performer from NYU who is easily triggered and will need alot of down time to recover from their various emotional traumas.

Almost every educated person will have an opinion on conservative nationalism.

Sure, just as they will about extreme left ideology.

Post 2000 Hillsdale remade itself into the Heritage Foundation mold. Old brick buildings were razed for new junk buildings, green spaces were filled, small LAC vibe totally disappeared.

It essentially has morphed into a propaganda machine for those who believe USA should be a theocratic, Christian nation and they are willing to do whatever it takes to destroy the constitution and country to make that goal.

Well, if you - some random internet poster - says so, it must be true.

The problem with Hillsdale for me is that I see it as a place where country club dads park their unfortunately mediocre offspring before folding them back into the family business. So I assume the firepower, analytical skills, broad social savvy and drive that I need on my team simply will not be present in that graduate pool. I imagine some might disagree with that, but a candidate would not make it through the filters we have in place.

The good news? Lots of other great choices for the traditional guy. Tell us a little bit about your son and maybe we can throw out a few good options? One of my kids chose Auburn. We are left leaning techies, so it surprised us. But said child loved their college experience and is now very well networked and employed.

Your post illustrates the problem is this thread, not Hillsdale, and that the problem is ignorance, not wisdom. In the first place, it is not a country club republican college by any stretch of the imagination. You clearly have no idea what country club dads are lke. Country club dads with mediocre offsprings send their kids to state schools or colleges like Loyola MD (I don't like using the word mediocre, but let's assume it means middling academic interests). Hillsdale has always been a more intellectually conservative college with a strong Christian focus. It is also nothing like Liberty or Bob Jones. As a PP commented, it is the twin of schools like Oberlin or Wesleyan, just on the conservative end of the same spectrum that pulls people towards beliefs in ideology. The difference is that Oberlin and Wesleyan's progressivism is fashionable and respectable among the left. Hillsdale is not.

That aside, I work in corp America, F500 firm. I'd venture to say the vast majority of HR recruiters and hiring managers will not not know anything about Hillsdale College and just think it as another one of the midwestern LACs. They will see you graduated from a college and focus on your work experience. Most people do not judge the way people on this thread do.

Well said.
