[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Elite universities are immune from these concerns.  Brown, Dartmouth are the same or worse.  They hire ivy graduates due to the prestige.  There is no much difference between what’s taught at Harvard vs what’s taught at Haverford.  As long as corporations continue hiring elites there is nothing to worry about.

Schools like JHU are different, they were built on German models.  There is no prestige associated with JHU.  Their success is measured by output.  [/quote]

And yet world leaders and their top people come to the US to go to Harvard and other Ivy League schools and leave to become successful in their countries.  Harvard has graduated over 100 recent billionaires.   The top hospitals in Boston are teaching affiliates of Harvard with Harvard trained doctors.

The White House administrations continue to be overrun by Harvard and other Ivy League graduates.   Biden had 26 staffers from Yale and 18 from Harvard. Surprisingly Trump had more Harvard graduates in his cabinet than any other school. And for all of their talk about Harvard, Yale, Princeton being elite liberal havens the school also teaches  their share of  right wing including Steve Bannon , Reince Preibus, Mike Flynn, John Bolton Jarod Kushner,  Ben Shapiro.  Their education helped them become who they are, good or bad.

On the opposite end, the so painfully unqualified people Trunp put in power have shown the difference between an Ivy League education and a tier 3 type college education in terms of success and failure.  Bondi, a graduate of UF and Stetson Law School, Kristi Noem, a graduate of South Dakota state with a BA are two example of the reason Ivy League education still matters. [/quote]
