This assumes that the hiring managers or whoever are honest people who are not racist or bigoted in any manner and only display incidental racism or subconscious bias. If I see a HBCU as an applicant's alma matter, it's almost certain that they are black.
- Manuel_D 2y agoCorrect, and that's why hiding the fact that the candidate attended an HBCU would avert that kind of bias.
- AdamN 2y agoSo no colleges and universities on resumes?
- Manuel_D 2y agoYou could share data on the college, like the median SAT score of admits or the admissions rate. And I'm not entirely sure that omitting colleges entirely would be such a bad idea. Colleges apply selective admission criteria all the time, for athletes and legacy admits. Skills based screening would probably work better.
- roughly 2y agoWell, then you have to account for certain jobs and hobbies being coded, as well as word choices in the personal statement. Once you blank all that out, though, we should be good to go.
