Kaydad - I don’t think it’s a conscious thing, for the most part. But how many people who look at top liberal arts schools expect to eventually work in retail, or in a factory plant, etc.? Wesleyan students are much more likely to be labor organizers than the labor being organized. I’m not saying it’s not completely great that Wes students go on to be labor organizers - it IS great - but the system still has its issues. And the prestige of Wesleyan will definitely help one go where one wants to go; doors aren’t really closed like they are for many people.
