The abstract of the paper the article quotes is here: http://tinyurl.com/6bgtwu4 http://tinyurl.com/6bgtwu4 [sciencedirect.com link; too long to put here] There's no real mention of any university names. This line caught my eye: "However, attendance at a super-elite university was insufficient for success in resume screens. Importing the logic of elite university admissions, firms performed a secondary resume screen on the status and intensity of candidates’ extracurricular accomplishments and leisure pursuits." So it sounds like these 'recruiters' don't just look at what school you come from, but also look at what else you've done outside school during your years. Sounds about fair to me. HuffingtonPost article sounds like it was written in a rather sensational manner.
