Their graduates have zero culpability here (unless they were involved). Your judgement of them is unfair.
- rualca 6y agoTheir graduates might not have been directly involved, but it's not possible to ig ore that those graduates were the product of an academic environment where this kind of behavior was not only sanctioned from the top but also defended as an adequate use of resources.
- psds2 6y agoAdequate use of resources seems like a bizarre reasoning. Do you also evaluate how a candidates alma mater compensates its football staff before you hire?
- tester756 5y agoyou actually believe that all of those adult engineers can't decide on their own? you think students believe in everything that profs do/say?
- Aperocky 5y agoThis is only slightly better than judging from the skin color or location of birth.
- dvhh 5y agoIsn't academics part of how you are evaluating a candidate for a job ?
- krageon 6y ago> Their graduates have zero culpability here It's not about guilt, it's about trust. They were trained for years in an institution that violates trust as a matter of course. That makes them suspect and the judgement completely fair.
- fighterpilot 6y agoLots of universities have had scandals. I could probably dig one up from your alma mater. They're big places with long histories. Collective punishment achieves little productive and should be avoided.
- krageon 6y agoCollective punishment is a clear and unilateral signal that something is extremely wrong and not within the punisher's power to unwind properly (or prevent in the future). Until it's clear that this university can be trusted, they should not be. I would feel the same about any schools that I attended, and I would not have issues with blanket bans for them either if this was the kind of activity they got up to.
- jdasdf 6y agoIts not about collective punishment. Universities sell reputation, both good and bad. It just so happens that they sold bad reputation.
- majormajor 5y ago> They were trained for years in an institution that violates trust as a matter of course. "As a matter of course" is a big leap here.
