re: Do people with "real" degrees respect people with online degrees?
Posted by ProfBones on 6/21/18 at 9:32 pm to lsuwontonwrap
Here is the heart of the issue: education is not a protected class. For hiring managers, the easiest way to parse out the 'ya's' from the 'nay's' is to toss the online degrees. When you have from 200 to 1,000 applicants, you can see the need to eliminate the pile for a criterion rapidly. Especially for beginning positions where the competition is much more fierce. Until the Congress decides that education is protected (which it probably never will), it's just the way of this cruel world.
I do a lot of hiring and I talk to others that also hire. I think this is a pretty standard practice, like it or not. I see it touted at conferences as one of the the easiest ways to eliminate a large percentage of your applicant pool as well. And they argue that this group of people will not be well-acclimated to working with people anyway and are extremely risk-averse. These are traits most hiring managers look for, not against.

The problem is that SNHU is overtly treating education like a business. You may not be for-profit, but you're acting exactly like them. Even the commercials that are produced in-house are produced by your own company called "Mill Yard" (how appropriate). Could you be more obtuse?
By stating "the world equally distributes talent," you infer that anyone might be that unfound Mozart or DiVinci and by attending SNHU online, your school just might bring that talent to the surface. It's laughable!
You prey on our military, knowing the GI Bill is money just waiting to be spent on your University. You act like a Class C Master's degree is the same as a Class A, never telling your students that there is a difference.
As someone that does a great deal of hiring, I can say with complete honesty that when I see a resume with any diploma from SNHU, it goes in the trash. Since education is not a protected class, it's the easiest way to cull the heard.
So congratulations on not being a for-profit place of education. Your behavior IS that of prey mentality, just like the "for-profits." You prey on people from our Forces, you prey on the single mother that can barely afford to feed their kids, and you promise them talent and opportunity for a degree that you might as well throw away.
