celrae I think this is the core issue. The problem isn't that Ivys are turning out rich entitled people with no life experience, the issue is that the programs are designed for those people, who already have the connections and open doors they need, and tf they don't have good tools.On twitter.com

celrae They end up being a pipeline to other rich entitled people who hire on the assumption that their Ivy experience turned them out ok and so this person will turn out ok regardless, and the people who do the work outside of the Ivys don't even get a callback even w/a better resume.Permalink On twitter.com

celrae Which is how students who have done nothing but write in classrooms at an Ivy end up at NYT and people who have busted their ass, invested their time deeply in student journalism and the sj community, don't. A phenomenon I witnessed all the time working in Student Media.Permalink On twitter.com

celrae And this sort of pipeline, along with the people who get the most out of it (the already connected, rich, etc...) definitely has consequences for our national media, and the student media on those campuses.

celrae I'm not saying that some middle of nowhere state school is going to do better with diversity in its student paper, but if the Ivys aren't doing better in bringing diverse voices into journalism via their program the NYT needs to do better than default to hiring from them.Permalink On twitter.com
