If only that were true. My cousin did recruitment for a few years for new engineers for their Fortune 50 company. At every university him and a few other engineers would interview the best that university had. They were only allowed to hire X amount and at the end of the day the HR department would march in 5-10 minority candidates, who didn't fall into the 'best' category, and they were told to hire X amount regardless of qualifications. I hope that doesn't become too prevalent in aviation.
