"Any of us that hire college grads should let the University of Colorado know that we won't be hiring any of their graduates that took courses and received good grades in classes taught by this POS. In fact- that we will avoid hiring any Colorado graduates at all until they police their faculty of this puke."

Can't one be sued for discrimination for not hiring graduates of a certain college? I appreciate your idea, but have you talked to a lawyer about this?

The simple answer to your question is no. Education is an allowable form of discrimination.

For instance, you have two applicants who have identical degrees. One received his degree from Princeton University, and the other from Parsons. You hire the candidate from Princeton based upon the reputation of the institution granting the degree. Can you be sued? NO.

Or- both applicants have identical degrees but one has a transcript reflecting additional study in areas that would be an asset to the company you are hiring for. Can you be sued for selecting the applicant that had taken the additional courses that benefit your company? NO.

If you find that the course of study pursued by the applicant is not an asset your company needs, then you certainly have the right not to hire that applicant.

No, just say "not qualified" and leave it at that.

BTW, your alma mater ain't a "protected status"...yet, anyway.

Slow down,there,buddy.I watched the speech he gave at the college,and the students seemed a whole lot brighter than Churchill.

Churchill went to great lengths to explain that in his "Eichmann remark",he was referring to the technocrats,not the food service employees,janitors,firefighters,cops,passers by,etc(his beloved working class).One student said the he doubted that any of Churchill's students were studying to become janitors or food service employees,i.e.,Churchill was calling his students future Eichmanns."That's your choice",he lamely replied.

Another had been in a Columbus Day parade,which Churchill and his group protested.Free speech does not include celebrating genocide,Churchill said.I have a ninth amendment right(!!!)not to be subjected to speech I don't like.

I wonder if I have a ninth amendment right to be free of his nonsense.
