No one should like or approve of discrimination. However, preferring one academic program over another as basis for hiring or promotion is legal and legitimate. Many will not hire a fellow minority because they are minority unless I have to meet some quota which is BS. The idea was to promote equality not perpetuate inequality. I subscribe to this. Also, when it comes to being qualified, we all want the best. Would you rather go to a Dr who went to Harvard and is a noted leader in the field or someone with lesser pedigree? Same goes with business. The best MBA talent typically comes from the respected programs. Phoenix and other on-line programs are legal and legit, just not on par with the respected programs whether you look at them academically or in terms of the work performance by their graduates in companies I worked. I am referring to the overall set. Some exceptions were noted here which is similar to some graduates of ASU being superior to an IVY grad. This was the exception!

Re F'ing up the country is the allocation of accreditation...BS. In this country we afford opportunity to everyone. In many cases the criteria must be provided so that equality can be measured. JUst because a school is accredited doesn't mean it is on par with others or even worthy. Ever hear of a Dr not being good or any one else receiving training, graduating and being unable to perform? The fault lies with the student in their choice to attend and failing to do due diligence. Ignorance is not bliss. Take responsibility for your actions and inaction. The buck rests with the individual in terms of education.
