...workers is unjust because they should not have to bear the heaviest burden of a crisis that they did not create. Layoffs devastate people’s lives and families, contributing to the economic crisis because people without jobs can no longer afford to pay for basic needs. The onus that we face is finding a way to make these unjust cuts unnecessary ones by seeking out other means of meeting Harvard’s new budgetary demands...

Though the Office of Career Services has a database with hundreds of jobs that are not in the financial arena, the onus is still mostly on students to learn about opportunities on their own and go through the application process with less guidance than that which e-recruiting provides for its counterparts in finance.

Beyond that, universities develop their own reputations with employers based on qualities that are perhaps the most practicable of gauges: the real-world competence of graduates. That said, the onus should be on employers to understand what each candidate will bring to a position based on their degree and school and, where they are unfamiliar with these, to do their research. While more degree standardization may make hiring a bit easier, its implications for education as a whole outweigh whatever...
