Warning: College killed our meeting on job markets

We booked a room for a chat with grads about tough hiring scenes. The school said no, fearing it would spread worry and cut the event. Do places of learning have a duty to hide hard truths from students?

Does hiding problems help students prepare?

Kinda makes you wonder if hiding stuff now just means grads won't trust the school later when they need real help.

Hold up, @wendychen has a thought, but is it really that bad? Schools hide small things all the time, like budget cuts or teacher drama. Most grads won't even remember that stuff when they need a job reference. Trust is built on bigger things, like how the school helped them learn. So maybe hiding a few secrets now doesn't ruin everything later.
