US College Rankings 2020
Duke University: 10th
North Carolina A&T: >600th
While the author tries to frame the university as "a damn good one", in reality it probably isn't.
- dan-robertson 6y agoDo you consider the treatment of NC A&T by Hooli to be disrespectful? I certainly do. The treatment looks to me like people (or the firm) felt obligated to show up but not obligated to put much effort in or to expect to recruit anyone. If they are running a recruiting event with little expectation of recruiting, does that not agree with the article’s view that the event was solely paying lip service to diversity.
- scott31 6y agoI agree entirely with you, it is disrespectful.
- Hitton 6y agoNow the question is what is better for the students? a) being visited and disrespected b) not being visited at all
- kirubakaran 6y agoWhy are those two the only options? How about: c) being visited and treated with some respect
- ajuc 6y agoThe root cause seems to be "we need a token event at this university". All the bad historically white universities wouldn't get an event at all.
- pepy 6y agoYou will get comments that rankings are skewed. Dont be surprised to hear that "Rankings must be abolished! They are discriminating!"
- akhilcacharya 6y agoAs someone that went to a low ranked school, they absolutely should be abolished.
- mav3rick 6y agoWhy should they be ? Just because your school wasn't ranked high ?
- akhilcacharya 6y agoYes
- mav3rick 6y agoAnd if it was ranked high you wouldn't have the same opinion.
- akhilcacharya 6y agoProbably not, no
- mav3rick 6y agoSo you're okay being a hypocrite in life ?
- akhilcacharya 6y agoI went to a school that’s definitely not ranked near 10 like Duke (didn’t get into Duke) and was also ignored by the $COMPANY despite being in the same region and being the authors alma mater. What, exactly, do you think my class of CS grads should do when recruiting?
- scott31 6y ago> What, exactly, do you think my class of CS grads should do when recruiting? Apply like regular people and pass the interviews.
- akhilcacharya 6y agoIf they do this I'm fairly certain the $COMPANY also does school filtering on resumes.
- Tade0 6y agoI checked the world rankings by CWUR https://cwur.org https://cwur.org and it's below second-tier universities from my country which are all pretty low down the list to begin with. Nevertheless if the details of this story are true this company might have well not bothered visiting. Whenever I set a benchmark for tone-deafness someone eventually swoops in and makes me re-evaluate it.
