Joe Biden, a proud graduate of the University of Delaware and Syracuse Law
School who has bragged about going to a “state school,” has stocked his
top White House staff with nearly twice as many Ivy League graduates as the
first iteration of the Trump White House, according to a POLITICO analysis.
Forty-one percent of senior- or mid-level Biden White House staffers — or
82 people out of 201 aides analyzed — have Ivy League degrees.
By contrast, only 21 percent of the comparable White House staff had such
credentials under President Donald Trump, a graduate of the University of
Pennsylvania’s prestigious Wharton School who boasted about his academic
pedigree and often looked for Ivy Leaguers when hiring Cabinet officials and
top aides.
The most popular Ivy League institution among both the Biden and Trump White
Houses is Harvard University. Thirty-five Biden aides, or 17 percent of the
total staff, have degrees from Harvard — including chief of staff Ron
Klain and counsel Dana Remus. Nineteen Trump White House staff members, or
11 percent, among them Jared Kushner and Steve Bannon, earned Harvard
degrees.
Next up among Biden aides is Yale, which counts 29 graduates in the White
House, including national security adviser Jake Sullivan, National Economic
Council director Brian Deese and National Security Council chief of staff
Yohannes Abraham. Only 10 aides in the first year of Trump’s White House
boasted degrees from Yale.
The least popular Ivy League school for the Biden White House is Brown,
which only counts two alumni among the staff. But for Trump, that honor went
to Columbia, which had zero graduates among the positions counted in
POLITICO’s analysis.
Biden hasn’t spoken much about Ivy League degrees, but said in February
that he didn’t support forgiving up to $50,000 in student debt because such
relief would help Ivy Leaguers.
“The idea that ... I’m going to forgive the debt, the billions of dollars
in debt, for people who have gone to Harvard and Yale and Penn,” he said
without finishing the sentence.
Trump often bragged about allies and aides who attended Ivy League schools
also talked up his own education at Wharton, and Penn's student newspaper
The Daily Pennsylvanian once reported that he publicly referenced his
Wharton attendance 93 separate times from May 2015 to January 2018.
Graduate degrees
The Biden White House is also comparatively stocked with advanced
credentials: 78 percent of Biden aides have graduate-level degrees —
defined as a master’s degree, law degree or Ph.D. — versus only 57 percent
of Trump aides.
Direct comparisons of specific positions also reveal a contrast in hiring
approaches between the two White Houses.
For instance, Ashley Williams, the deputy director of Oval Office operations
for Biden, went to Georgetown University, got a master’s from George
Washington University and then a law degree from Penn.
Many of Trump’s closest operational aides, however, were hired for their
close and trusting relationship with the boss. Former Trump body man John
McEntee, who in practice carried out many of the responsibilities now
managed by Williams, was a star quarterback at the University of Connecticut
. Keith Schiller, who held the top Oval Office operations job in the first
year of Trump’s presidency, graduated from New Paltz High School in New
York state before joining the U.S. Navy and serving as a police officer —
he does not appear to have attended college.
Other eye-catching comparisons include Bruce Reed, a deputy chief of staff
for Biden, who attended Princeton University and received a master’s degree
from Oxford, versus Trump’s Joe Hagin, who attended Kenyon College, and
Rick Dearborn, who went to the University of Oklahoma.
Then there are the elites of the elites: the aides who hold three degrees
exclusively from Ivy League schools or Oxford and Cambridge.
Seven Biden White House staff members — including Sullivan, principal
deputy national security adviser Jon Finer and National Security Council
legal adviser Jonathan Cedarbaum — fit the category. Five aides, including
former staff secretary Rob Porter, carried such credentials in the Trump
White House.
“President Biden understands better than most occupants of the Oval Office
that the name of the institution on your degree matters a lot less than the
intelligence, grit, and work ethic you bring to your job," said White House
spokesperson Mike Gwin. "He and the Vice President are the first pair to
hold their offices in almost half a century and not have Ivy League degrees,
and they’ve worked aggressively to fulfill a historic commitment to
ensuring that their administration looks like America and reflects its
diversity — in experience, background, and education.”

Another White House official added that they built a robust interview
process to minimize bias and tracked diversity across the entire hiring
process. More than half of Biden’s initial 1,400 appointees are women and
more than half are people of color, according to the official. One third are
first-generation Americans or the children of immigrants, and 16 percent
are first-generation college graduates.
The official said that the White House doesn’t pay attention to where
people went to school but instead focused on personality, fit, alignment on
values and intellectual humility in its efforts to put together the most
diverse administration ever. The official noted that especially among
cabinet members of color, few went to Ivies. | s********n
