A reader writes in by email:
I’m pretty sure everyone is fairly familiar with the recent events at the University of Oklahoma. Mind you, that all happened in a psychology class between a psychology instructor and a stem major. However, I’m wondering if something like that actually does impact the impression a hiring committee gets when looking at a CV of a candidate with credentials from OU. Are there simply inescapable bad associations now that such a candidate might just have to pay the price for?
It’s hard for me to see how it would be at all reasonable for hiring committees to hold things like these against job candidates. Then again, I never cease to be surprised at the kinds of things that people say they take into account.
Do any readers have any helpful insights or experiences to share?
