We have been down this road from an academic perspective.  But I had a discussion with someone at Google and he said they were now restricting applicants based on the schools they attended.  I was wondering how pervasive this is, or going to be.
Any input?
  Really is that new? Is that even legal? I talked with a google recruiter last year and that wasn't the official line, nor one that other were talking about.  In addition I have friend who were hired by google in the past year that went to university with me.  I have no idea if it's on the list but it's not a "top" rated university.  Now this was someone with 20+ years experience and not someone fresh out of university.  Perhaps that is what they are talking about.
