This IU saga has to be some of the most entertaining shit that has happened to this forum in years
This is not gonna be good for IU Kelley's reputation. They already were on thin ice as an average state school with decent placement, but with this scandal it's not good. I feel bad for non diverse kids in IBW breaking their back to get an offer but are being hindered becuz of the schools's diversity lying.
Hopefully this reminds everyone about how fucking retarded state school kids are, and that no one actually thinks/cares much about them even though they have a chip on their shoulder for not getting into a good school
Lame ass drama from a lame ass school smh.
It's true, I refuse to associate with anyone that went to a flagship state school, they are retarded as fuck compared to my esteemed NESCAC and Patriot League colleagues, they are smart and cool.
Also if that story is true, that IBW director is a fucking douche smh. I am surprised no firm HR is talking to him.
Fuck IU fuck the director
No bro he’s amazing. He personally helped me a bunch
Bro you need to change your username, it's very easy to dox you.
Bro change your username it’s very easy to tell who you are
Lol
What's the IU saga?
So is it true that he got the PWP kid’s race changed within university records?
Is this on some finmeme account?
What’s your source on this? Have a hard time believing that a state school professor would have a comp package that has any sort of incentive bonus.
Agreed. However, I would guess that their program is funded by the university and is contingent upon a certain proportion of kids getting placements. The director is incentivized to keep strong relationships with firms, and so they’ll push good candidates for “safety” opportunities to keep placement high. I doubt the deans or higher up admin know or care about what makes CVP a better offer than WF. They just want to have kids get placed into jobs to bolster the job placement statistics.
This is literally not true at all
Thanks now I can sleep at night knowing this
Why should the collective WSO have to read about some state school’s drama. Save this for your school’s group chat / slack
Amen! Some kid is salty about not getting into a club or getting bad placement or something and chooses a wholly inappropriate place to air his grievances and lob unsubstantiated allegations against students and professors.
Have no dog in this fight, but they have 5+ clearly white males in SEO Edge (Black/hispanic/native american only, so not like they're all LGBT) and other diversity-only programs. I looked them up when names were getting posted and it was egregious. Not sure about the director but there is clearly a great deal of lying about race at that school. It's lauded on here as a real path to IB so people should know if this is actually happening.
Who cares lol get a life dude. This is ridiculous
FTFY
We heard you in the other 5 threads, jesus christ.
The good news is you've put a mediocre state school on everyone's radar with all this whining. The bad news is it's not in a good way lol.
.
whine whine whine
IU Kelley pulling 15 dimensional chess moves by leaking their own problems just so they could gain more fame, I'm talking Mark Cuban playing with Dick Cheney levels of Machiavellianism
As a rising sophomore I agree with the above this one person is screwing IU for recruiting next year
>as a rising sophomore
identity politics has completely ruined modern communication
unrelated but got it
As a VP and an active member of recruiting, none of this feels accurate. I have actively interacted with the IU Director repeatedly and he is an upstanding, honest and caring individual.
I went to IU this year for interviews and was amazed by the quality of the candidate I encountered.
To hear anything otherwise is surprising. I am inclined to disbelieve it.
This is the case at every single one of these programs. The directors have to choose between their best interests (maintaining corporate relationships) or the students best interests (getting them the best offers). They ALWAYS choose their best interests. This is why unbiased mentorship from someone who wants what’s best for you is indispensable. Having someone to tell it to you straight is hugely important, and career services will not tell it to you straight. Find. A. Mentor.
