[quote=Anonymous][b]Forbes "Presidential Cabinets Have Been Dominated By College Elites Long Before Joe Biden And Donald Trump. Why That’s A Problem."[/b]

Bower-Bir coded the colleges these senior appointees attended as being either “elite” or “common.” The elite schools included the eight universities in the Ivy League (Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Pennsylvania, Harvard, Princeton, Yale) plus 17 others determined through commonly understood academic groupings and a scientific survey of the American public (Duke, Georgetown, U. Chicago, MIT, Johns Hopkins, Cambridge, London School of Economics, Oxford, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, Boston College, Boston University, Carnegie Mellon, New York University, Northwestern, Stanford and U. California, Berkeley). “Common” schools were simply everyplace else.

Seems like Berkeley is the only US public to make the list. The list does, however, include the UK's University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, and LSE (all public).

RIP UVA, UMich, Williams and Amherst[/quote]
