In an op-ed for
The Wall Street Journal on Monday, he said used to jump at the chance to hire from Ivy Leagues, but now it turns him off applicants.
He said from his experience, kids from colleges like Rutgers in New Jersey are 'as talented but less self-important than Ivy Leaguers' and 'more likely to accept the authority of those more experienced'. 'I'm not inclined to hire a graduate from one of America's elite universities.'That marks a change. A decade ago I relished the opportunity to employ talented graduates of Princeton, Yale, Harvard and the rest. Today? Not so much,' Reno wrote.
He cited a recent example at Haverford, the college he attended, where outraged students protested against what they called anti-blackness on a Zoom meeting where he said they showed 'thin-skinned narcissism and naked aggression'.
Comment: Perhaps China is reluctant to cooperate in an investigation because they know it didn't come from them but they also know the outcome of the investigation is a foregone conclusion.
