The WSJ did an article on the original "public ivies" when the term
was made its way in to the mainstream (1980s).

It included comments by students on those state universities that
ranked towards the lower end, and the one comment that stuck
with me is "...and everybody knows that URI is high school after
high school."

I fear that is probably now the norm for many schools, including
the private ones.

Remember that MIT biology professor that all but passed out
when then-Harvard president Larry Summers hinted at the
suggestion that there may be a difference between boys and girls?

Not to mention the Harvard tenured numnuts that added that as an
excuse to force Summers out. Larry stopped trying to do the
right things after that, and joined the ranks of the moonbat
lemmings.

This nonsense also makes employers vulnerable to fraud. Want to get a job? Lie on your resume.

The more resistant employers are to ‘credentialism’, the stronger their bottom line.
