I write about business, finance and technology in the K-12 and higher education sectors. Prior to joining Forbes, I worked at Inside Higher Ed as a business and governance reporter, and before that I worked as a digital producer for Politico. I graduated from St. Olaf College in 2018 with a degree in political science.
You’re not imagining things: The Ivy League is forfeiting its standing as America’s producer of great talent. Here are the schools producing the hard-working high achievers that employers crave.the Ivy League has provided an essential service. In sorting the best and the brightest upon admission and then rigorously educating them, these “Ancient Eight” universities have provided employers, investors and even voters a meritocratic seal of approval. Some one-third of U.S.
Several of the Ivy League colleges, including Columbia University, pictured above, have drawn ire in recent months from students, alumni, donors and politicians for how they've responded to on-campus antisemitism and the war in Gaza.“The bloom has been off the Ivies,” says Fred Prager, a senior managing director at Hilltop Securities and a trustee at California’s Claremont McKenna College whose investment firm specializes in higher education.
“Just 14% of hiring managers said the Ivy League colleges were doing better than five years ago in preparing job candidates, while 20% said they’re doing worse.” One of Forbes' New Ivies, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, offers a"CS + X" major program that allows students to combine computer science with other arts and science studies.The conclusion: great state schools and ascendant private ones are turning out hungry graduates; the Ivies are more apt to turn out entitled ones.
