I think this is true too, provided the school actually produces a good quality education. As someone involved with hiring, the college's do tend to produce much better candidates than the cheaper alternatives for software engineering for example.
The key is that the school has a reputation for successful graduates or that the candidate himself has an extensive portfolio (at least in the case of software engineers).
It's much cheaper for an employer to discriminate potential employees based on which university they attended than to look deeply into each individual as an individual.
