Kevin O'Leary, a prominent businessman and investor featured on the TV show "Shark Tank," recently addressed leaders of university protests in the US, warning them about potential job market consequences. He expressed concern that even with masked identities, employers could easily discern which university a candidate graduated from by scrutinizing their resumes. O'Leary emphasized the ease of identity verification, which costs a mere $400, a small price compared to potential annual salaries. He suggested the need for an artificial intelligence program to aid in this process.

He criticized the protests, citing actions such as clashes with law enforcement, destruction of university property, anti-American rhetoric, flag desecration, and harassment of fellow students and faculty. O'Leary cautioned that such behavior jeopardizes the protesters' own futures.

Furthermore, he mentioned employing specialized firms like Career Group Companies to thoroughly vet job candidates. These firms would identify and flag individuals with histories of disruptive behavior, ensuring they are not hired by his company or any affiliated organizations. The president of Career Group Companies confirmed rescinding offers for jobs, residencies, and internships from hundreds of protesting students.
