I mean, are we going to start suing companies who go to career fairs at colleges too?

  There are plenty of older college students. There were lots of grey hairs in my night classes.

    Not in the places where top tech companies are willing to go to.

      I don't think this is true -- most of the Ivys have entire schools dedicated to older 'nontraditional' students (see, for example, the Columbia University School of General Studies), and Google/Facebook/etc recruit quite heavily from the Ivys.

        > Google/Facebook/etc recruit quite heavily from the Ivys. Yes but do they recruit older non traditional students. Schools catering to them doesn't automatically imply that they are being hired by google.

          You just moved the goalposts from "don't recruit where there are older students" to "yes, they recruit there, but do they recruit the older students".

            ok. I see what you mean. > don't recruit where there are older students But they don't recuit from 'schools dedicated to older 'nontraditional' students ' My original comment is still true > Not in the places where top tech companies are willing to go to. "places" here can be 'schools dedicated to older 'nontraditional' students' within Ivies.

    Not "plenty". A small fraction. The statistical biases are the point in these discrimination debates.
