If the employer didn't pay for the school, they shouldn't have access to the information. You either graduated from the program and the program is respected, or you didn't/program isn't respected.
On that note, perhaps we should remove school names from degrees, and you simply get a degree from an institution that has x accreditation.

The problem of course is that it's cultural.
Interviewer: So how did you enjoy your time in school?
Interviewee: Oh Cambridge was a great place!

Why bother with interviews if we can just pick those with highest scores from school?

> Why bother with interviews
Every time I participate in one I wonder the same thing.
I get the cosmic justice sentiment behind this, but if there is somebody else who didn’t get any C’s, and that’s all they know about the two of you, how is it unreasonable for them to just pick the higher-on-paper achiever? If everybody had a 2.0 GPA, then employers would have to pick from somebody with a 2.0 GPA, but that’s not the case.
