<p>Some of each at Washington Mutual…proving that white Ivy and white Non-Ivy grads are capable of some mistakes. Nice affirmative action program they had going there.</p>
<p>Huh? Among the 11 people listed on that link, I count 4 with Ivy degrees and the remaining 7 with degrees only from non-Ivy schools. That’s not much of a trend in either direction, so I’m not sure that says anything at all about either category of school. And the 10 who have photos all appear to be white too, so that tells me absolutely nothing about Affirmative Action either, since none of them are likely to have participated in it.</p>
<p>I think TourGuide is being sarcastic about the AA thing.</p>
<p>Let’s see, Ivy League grads comprise approximately one percent of college graduates. WaMu Execs were 40% Ivy League grads. Anyone out there who can say whether the difference is statistically significant?</p>
<p>(Semantically I’d describe my question as both rhetorical and facetious. TourGuide’s comment was definitely sarcastic. We don’t need a new thread to discuss the differences, do we?)</p>
<p>I don’t understand why you have to throw in “white” as in white grads ?
Your post doesn’t make any sense.</p>
<p>Another thing, I see a sickening trend that people think they say anything as long as it is a parody or excuse it as such.</p>
<p>I don’t understand why you have to throw in “white” as in white grads ? </p>
<p>Maybe because they are all…white? Here are the points I was trying to make with the original post:</p>
<p>Big companies always make a big show out of their diversity and inclusion, but when push comes to shove, they ignore all that and put the top butt kissers, the most connected, and sometimes the most capable at the top (i.e., they don’t REALLY believe in diversity).</p>
<p>It seems like about half the collegeconfidential posts are from ambitious kids who want to take the fast track to the top of the financial mountain. There is so much talk about which of the super-elite colleges will be more likely to get you in the door. A lot of the financial organizations we’ve seen fail in recent weeks have Ivy grads galore, yet still failed. They also have non-Ivy grads galore, and still failed. So maybe it’s not where you went to college or how smart you are, but how stable, shrewd, and non-greedy you are?</p>
<p>Because most of finance power brokers are men, can you conclude that men are responsible for this crisis ?</p>
<p>Ivy grads white or brown did not caused this financial crisis. Neither did non Ivy grads. It’s shady financial strategies, under-regulated trading practices and a culture of greed, quick to pass off to next victim mentality that created the near financial melt down.</p>
<p>How can you tell from the information on that link that WaMu is guilty of putting butt-kissers and the well-connected at the top? For all you know they are all personally very stable, shrewd, and non-greedy. </p>

<p>And a lot of the organizations that are succeeding have Ivy grads galore, and yet still succeeded. They also have non-Ivy grads galore, and still succeeded. In fact that can said about every organization in the world - they all have Ivy grads, or not.</p>
<p>Our current President is an Ivy grad…Nuff said.</p>
<p>Yes, and so was FDR and Bill Clinton. Jimmy Carter was not. Gosh. I see a real correlation of . . . absolutley nothing.</p>
