“The employers themselves are largely to blame for this mess; they keep trying to use a degree as a way to dodge due diligence in hiring. They may also be using it as a way to minimize legal risk, but mostly (again based on experience), it’s just laziness.”
It’s Griggs vs. Duke Power. You have to remember that this horrible court decision occurred in 1971! That’s 38 years ago—and we now just take this nonsense for granted. Many reading my words don’t know anything different. That’s “just the way things have always been.” If you were an 18 year old new hire in 1971, you are now minimally 55 years old.
