Business students at Cornell University who are not members of “marginalized or underrepresented groups” have been told to skip diversity-focused recruiting events, with a warning that attending could harm their career prospects and the school’s ties to recruiters, according to documents obtained by National Review.
The directive was circulated in an email on Friday by the student council of Cornell’s Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management, the outlet reported.
The council introduced the initiative as “Allyship in Action,” which it defined as “the active and continuous practice of using one’s privilege to support, advocate for, and stand with marginalized or underrepresented groups,” ***
The message continued, “Students who do not identify with the specific marginalized or underrepresented group that a diversity conference is designed for… should respect that space and should not attend,” the outlet reported.
It also warned, “Furthermore, we want to stress the negative impact your presence may have on your own recruiting outcomes, as well as Cornell’s relationship with these organizations,” according to the documents reviewed by National Review.*** Next week’s Reaching Out MBA conference in New Orleans is billed as the world’s largest gathering of LGBTQ business students and alumni. Other recent offerings include the National Black MBA Conference, the AfroTech conference, the Women in Investing conference, and the Prospanica National Conference for Hispanic students.

You have been warned, whitey.
Does Cornell use pre-law students to run their threatening policy decisions by?Ridiculous BS.
Pretty sure this runs afoul of constitutional protections.
First Cornell gets federal funds, as such they cannot promotes employment events that intentionally discriminate, second many of those employers are also likely to have federal contracts, again making this illegal.
Look ma, it’s a war and only one side is shooting? Why does the other side just sit there with there lips agape?
no one has been more marginalized in America in 2025 than a white man, so I hope they flood this event
I thought an upper-level business school was about producing graduates excelling at competence and sensible leadership.
My bad.
Agreed.
Federal funding of universities is white people giving leftists the rope the leftists can use to hang them.
If someone were to post even one sign advertising a “white men only” hiring event, the university would turn over heaven and earth to hunt him down to expel him.
Go anyway.
L
Coloureds only.
Well done liberals.
These colleges think this is so great helping poor students through lower standards and white guilt. But when it comes to real life companies hiring people they will run like hell from any “marginalized” graduate who learned nothing but grievance and misery in college.
However.... these “marginalized” losers will be hired in HR departments, public schools, law firms, or a government bureaucracy.
Are there any job fairs where the criteria is “qualified, competent?”
