What crappy ass bachelor's program is that? I do deep dives and I teach on bachelor level.
A one year series for calculus, physics, or chemistry, that's just the basics, nothing deep.
Most other core classes generally have one class on a topic. Maybe there is an advanced elective. How is that a deep dive?
By "deep dive" I am thinking at least a master's level where you spend a few quarters (or more) researching something. Or the master's version of the class picks up where the undergrad core and elective advanced left off. So you have to take that advanced elective if you did not have it as an undergrad.
Sure an undergrad class can be hard, or it can be a lab class that takes a lot of time, but that's not what I considered "deep". Getting a bachelors is really just basic proficiency in some field, qualified for more advanced studies or likely to be productive in the work force. Either of which will involve much more learning.

... to even only seriously consider doing that? These people are operating on the level of totally deranged cultists.
To be honest, listening to Bank of America when they tell you to install their phone app and connect it to your accounts is really not the smartest thing to do either. A phone app should only see credit cards where you will not be held liable for false charges you report. Never an ATM card attacked to check or savings, or checking and savings themselves. And when only doing such credit cards you should really be using something like Apple or Google Wallet where there is some additional protection and an indirect connection to your bank, making the bank's own app unnecessary, and one less point of attack.

I have worked with junior level devs who just take a dev task's requirements, hand it straight to AI, put that through basic testing (only the main intended cases) and then offer that up as a finished solution. The solution was, of course, full of holes, some of them quite serious, just not obvious.
So change the coding interview to match what they will do on the job. If they aren't going to turn a requirement described in natural language into code that implements and tests that requirement, the test them on their ability to review a code implementation and the set of corresponding tests. The latter can provide some of the struggle they need to learn. And how well their code review goes can help distinguish between those that know more from those that know less. Those that actually debigged agentic code and those that just trust agentic code.

You seem to be unaware that lots of people going into academic STEM programs get washed out.
Nope. Business school is a graduate school. These people have both a Bachelors degree, 60% is a STEM field, plus some real world job experience.
Degree plus work experience is what is meant by "a background".
The difference is that academic STEM programs do the deep dives
Nope. Not at the bachelor's level. The deep dive is for graduate school, MBA programs excluded (they are surveys of all the major fields of large organizations).
that is where the students get separated into two groups. The second group them probably changes to business school.
Nope. In business school getting separated into groups is for the permanent team assignments. With 5-6 person teams there is usually barely enough accounting background folks for one on each team. You see business school is very team oriented. Besides team projects a person with expertise in a given area is supposed to tutor teammates that are having problems with the material. So this distribution of backgrounds across the teams, at least one each of accounting, management, and STEM creates are broad enough set of capabilities for tutoring within the team.

Nope. The word "allegedly" means there is no evidence. Thank you for proving my point.

Submission + - Canada facing carbon tariff threat from European Union (www.cbc.ca)
-$2.8 billion in exports exposed — no exemption for Canada despite its own carbon price.
-Internal docs call it “effectively a carbon tariff.” Quebec and Newfoundland hardest hit as Ottawa pushes EU trade diversification.
-Canadian producers face new compliance costs and higher prices on metals already slammed by U.S. tariffs.
-The EU is weaponizing climate policy into a direct trade hit on Canada.
The EU is applying its Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) to Canadian steel, iron and aluminum to stop “carbon leakage”.
Canada's new best friends don't even want our stuff! How brutal is this?
Remember, Carney and the Liberals walked away from a tariff-free deal with Trump.

Same thing was done with lead. Along with a healthy put down of the chemical warfare specialists (the only government scientists studying it at the time) who said it was a bad idea with the argument that if it was that bad, they would have used it during the Great War.
