Would a Hillsdale graduate have reduced professional opportunities?

[Anonymous]

To those saying they would never hire a Hillsdale grad, I feel exactly the same way about grads of Oberlin, Wesleyan, Reed, and several Ivy League schools. As do plenty of other people.

I'm surprised to see someone put Notre Dame in the same category as Liberty or Hillsdale.

Look at Sewanee.

You had me intrigued so I googled their curriculum and found the online offerings: https://online.hillsdale.edu/ In browsing it it seems pretty cool to me, very western oriented, certainly. Covers all the basics and these would have been standard topics at any college pre 2000. I have no idea why you think it's trash.

DP. Absolutely. And those online classes are free! So many great offerings.

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.

What's intellectually lazy is equating racial discrimination with political bias. No one can help the color they are born with, and it isn't predictive of values or choices. A purposeful and freely-chosen association with a political entity can be predictive of values and choices, however. You acknowledge this yourself in your rant about 'leftists' and what you think they think. Criticizing others for a thing you are actively doing it yourself is a maneuver only trolls think is clever.

Not the PP, but they are correct. All one has to do is read this thread - or any of the threads on the Political forum - to see what "leftists" think about conservatives. Or really, anyone who isn't 100% on the same page as them. What's intellectually lazy is pretending we can't see what's right in front of our own eyes.

Have you guys been to a college in the last 10 years? The only kids I see with pink and purple and blue hair are the middle school girls from a local private school.

You clearly have not been on certain campuses in the last ten years yourself. Wow.

Equating Hillsdale or Liberty to Notre Dame seems uninformed, if not provocative.

Notre Dame is a Top 25 university that has broad recognition as such, along with one of the largest, most engaged, most influential alumni networks in the U.S. and across the globe.

Hillsdale and Liberty are indoctrination centers that happen to have a campus.

Liberty, maybe. Not Hillsdale. Educate yourself for crying out loud.

Like Oberlin or Bard or Hampshire or Reed, eh?

No, but I’m hardly surprised that your ilk would find equivalency among them.

"Your ilk" - look at you. Really playing to type with every post.

You can't do it with Hillsdale.

It's very clear what the political leanings are of anyone with a Reed, Oberlin, Hampshire, etc. school on their resume. I mean, come on.

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.

Hahahahaahaha! You've posted this before and it's just hilarious, every single time. Thanks for the laugh!

No, you are wrong, and a hypocrite. Whether posting as NP or responding to yourself.

You're accusing me of sock puppeting because you don't like that I agreed with the PP? Grow up. And how is what I said hypocritical? You sound extremely immature.

OP- I think you're trolling here. Employers will think you're child is a MAGA incel. Far right organizations will love an incel...others will not.

They may be too liberal for your tastes but academia recognizes Oberlin and Reed as excellent schools. They both regularly show up on lists of PhD feeder schools. The list also contains many other SLACs. What isn’t a surprise is that Hillsdale is never on these lists.

DP. You may want to sit down for this. USNWR National Liberal Arts College rankings:

Hillsdale #50
Oberlin #58
Reed #63

Classic striver comment. USNWR has been a joke since they changed the criteria. Yale and Harvard Law formally withdrew from reporting in 2022. I’m much more interested in where my kid goes to grad school. And Hillsdale will get them nowhere.

Reed does not cooperate with USNWR for rankings purposes. So the ranking is dubious.

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 RFK Jr’s son just graduated from Harvard.
