[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The recent controversy involving Harvard is shining a spotlight on what top universities are teaching their students.  This is similar to what Covid-19 did for parents when their kids were doing remote learning.[/quote]

Harvard has taken a huge hit to its brand and prestige, no questions about it. Many more people are looking at recent grads with a skepticism we didn't before, and not only Harvard but other elite colleges too. But that aside, I still agree with previous posters who commented that a top MBA (top 10 school) is a great and quick route to solid six figure incomes. It really can leapfrog you up the corporate ladder and I know plenty of people who went for a top 10 MBA from a huge variety of backgrounds and all have done extremely well. [/quote]

This had to happen so that there is a refocus on what employers want.[/quote]
Employers just want the smartest students; they don’t care what the students are being taught.  [/quote]

Employers often prioritize EQ over IQ. EQ matters more in more senior jobs. [/quote]

I'm sure in some workplaces this might be true, but not most of them. I work for a F200 and we hire white men all the time for senior roles. And all are hard working people who know how to deliver. The equity priority is most pronounced in higher education (d'oh) and non profits including healthcare. But for profit still need competence.

But back to Harvard, yes, people are genuinely worried about what is now being taught at the elite schools. It can't be hidden any more. The people doing the hiring today are people who graduated 15-25 years ago on average, and really had no idea how much has changed in the last 10 years. Harvard today is not the Harvard of 2005.
