With Tech the opening up actually comes partly as a response to universities. I worked quite closely with our HR team recruiting some grads and they had to explain "If you want to exclusively hire <insert very specific description> then recruit from <Y> university".

Sure enough, roughly 30% of our office were from that university and it was incredible how well we'd managed to select for very specific, but technically irrelevant, characteristics.

Well, tech is hiring from HBCUs now because 1) it's PR and 2) Stanford grads are a finite resource.
