I have done University recruiting and been at recruiting events, I have never seen leftovers ever re-used, by any company, ever. I'm not even sure of the legality of that or the logistics of it. How were leftovers transported safely from one campus to another? 99% of the time, it's pizza (it's always pizza), and it's given away or thrown out at end of the event.

Probably something like, “oh, we have to go to this no name university next“, “what do we have?”, “well, we can bring these pizzas...”, “yeah okay, let’s put them in the car and get this over with quick”.

You're catching a lot of flack but in my experience this is true. We always leave the leftovers with the students who attended as (1) all students, regardless of school can always use some good leftovers, (2) the logistics and health concerns make this pretty much impossible. You 'd have to be a sick SOB and put in extra effort to do this; not characteristics of HR drones who just want to check a box.

  "HR drones" might want to reduce costs, choosing a way that aligns with perceived student importance. If their idea of a diversity effort is pretending to recruit black students they must be callously insensitive, and to some degree consciously racist.

Heh, this reminded me of my previous company, where the CEO hosted a Christmas party at her house where only the development team was invited. The next day, the rest of the company was served the left-overs, instead of the regular catering. It was definitely an eye-opening moment for everyone in terms of realizing which department was the CEO's favorite.

  I’m frankly surprised it was not the sales team that got invited

    Well, the CEO herself came from a computer science background, and was of the mindset that the product was so good it sold itself. She constantly complained that the sales team might as well be digging ditches in the desert. Didn't have the guts to test that theory, though.
