Exactly.

Not to mention, any decent hiring manager that knows of this event, if it does occur, would be more suspect of any graduate of Yale (if they attended during the academic period in question) versus an equivalent Ivy.

As the article mentioned, campus is the great equalizer for students of different backgrounds, so give each student a check for the full retail cost of a semester’s tuition and expenses, paid from the school’s endowment, and remove the class from their transcript.

Would they?

Because this one thing might have happened one semester they would decide that individual is less qualified?


Plus this is happening to pretty much everyone currently in school (at any age). Learning is being massively disrupted everywhere, not just at Yale.


Yes.

You think there will be alot of folks to choose from?


I'm not following, are you saying in this scenario there are a lot of ivy applications?


In the reality of what is about to happen to our world and the US economy and job market, there will be many more job applications than jobs.

I would rather hire the person that graduated from Yale a few years ago versus the one hopefully graduating next year, even for a fully remote position.
