I imagine that in some cases they're not exactly wrong. It's become ridiculous with all the credentialing. Between that and the interview process, they might as well just make people take a formal IQ evaluation instead. It'd save a lot of time and money.

Most of IQ testing is seen as being white supremacist in nature. If I were hiring, I would not touch it.
People see a lot of corruption and decay in our organizations too. I don't know if corruption has actually increased or not, but how often do we hear about some executive who's failing by every metric getting a pay raise? It's easy for students to justify cheating with stories like that.
