Do you consider the treatment of NC A&T by Hooli to be disrespectful? I certainly do.

The treatment looks to me like people (or the firm) felt obligated to show up but not obligated to put much effort in or to expect to recruit anyone. If they are running a recruiting event with little expectation of recruiting, does that not agree with the article’s view that the event was solely paying lip service to diversity.

The root cause seems to be "we need a token event at this university".

All the bad historically white universities wouldn't get an event at all.

I checked the world rankings by CWUR https://cwur.org and it's below second-tier universities from my country which are all pretty low down the list to begin with.

Nevertheless if the details of this story are true this company might have well not bothered visiting.

Whenever I set a benchmark for tone-deafness someone eventually swoops in and makes me re-evaluate it.

I went to a school that’s definitely not ranked near 10 like Duke (didn’t get into Duke) and was also ignored by the $COMPANY despite being in the same region and being the authors alma mater.

What, exactly, do you think my class of CS grads should do when recruiting?

You will get comments that rankings are skewed. Dont be surprised to hear that "Rankings must be abolished! They are discriminating!"
