UChicago Favors Wealthy Students in Internship Searches?

@JBStillFlying Once again, you completely missed my point. I think the meme group isn’t a particularly good way to gauge student opinions. You just somehow managed to pick one that’s several times worse.

Yes, it does! The anonymous career advisor explicitly says that he’s worried about what happens if “this communication were to be shared between students” and that “this funding process is not based on the one we’ve established.”

Why would they be concerned about special interest students sharing information about funding if it was offered to everyone? The advisor points the protocol was meant to be “a more equitable process” to disburse funding to students, i.e. to offer all students the opportunity to apply for funding, and then decide who gets it based on “financial need.” This is not what is happening here - the funding was offered only to the special interest students while still claiming to everyone else that there was no funding. At soon as the funding is offered only to special interest students, the entire office is complicit in a lie.
