TL;DR: Most people would very much like to keep working from home.
Carefully skirted are outright accusations of racism and sexism, though they are implied. Used instead are words like "microaggressions" and in an indirect manner. Hell, just call it what it is: institutionalized racism/sexism/classicism.
The classicism part clearly implied where someone recounts hearing a manager read aloud resumes... and then chuck the ones that did not feature a prestigious school straight into the recycle bin.
Aside: I know people don't like the phrase "There oughta be a law...", but I can't help but feel like this is something that there needs to be a law about - where potential employers cannot discriminate based on education provided the listed school has the degree program you desire in a candidate and that the school meets the accreditation standards. Sure, it means you'd actually have to see if someone is cut out for the job. But, as the hiring manager, isn't that your job in the first place?
