What do you base that logic on? We can all certainly name a high profile elected official who makes up words, had never been out of the country before taking office and had a raging alcohol problem, but still rose to power. And he certainly relied on his family and frat brothers for his opportunities. (This is just an example. Getting into that is another thread.) Anyway. . .don't get me wrong, all things being equal, I'm probably going to hire someone from my sorority, or my university, or my hometown etc. However, I'm going to make sure that "all things are equal" and I'm going to go out of my way to make sure that there is inclusion for those that should have a say, especially in a public institution.
