Is it employment discrimination that employers need graduate students to recruit employees?

Lawyer Li replied: Hello, I am glad to answer the question that employers need graduate students when recruiting employees. Is it employment discrimination? 1. What is employment discrimination? Employment discrimination refers to any behavior that takes different treatment, excludes or gives preferential treatment to workers on the basis of race, color, religion, political opinions, nationality, social origin, gender, household registration, disability or physical health, age, height, language and other reasons without legal purpose and reason, and infringes on the equal rights of workers. Second, academic discrimination With the increase of job seekers with master's and doctoral degrees in the talent market, the "undergraduate origin theory" has also become popular, and there has been a phenomenon of "checking three generations" for doctoral job seekers. Even if both master's degree and doctor's degree are from "prestigious schools", if the undergraduate course is unfortunately "reduced" to two or non-prestigious schools, the employer can easily let you out with only one recruitment brochure. Xiong Bingqi, an educational scholar, believes that "checking three generations" by doctors is actually a serious academic discrimination. He analyzed that this situation is mainly due to the unscientific talent evaluation system of the employer, "talking about heroes with academic qualifications." "Now even some units will check whether high school is a prestigious school." This kind of talent evaluation system that violates employment equity. Although China's existing employment promotion law requires ensuring employment fairness, in fact, the problem of academic discrimination in some large units is very serious at present, but no one has investigated it at all, which has not played its due role.
