Okay, but what stops companies from just hiring the person that went to college anyway? It has more or less become the "standard" that someone has a degree in their subject?
For government jobs I see it having an impact but as far as the private sector I'd still expect quota hiring feminist studies majors.
Private businesses will do what they will. This will shut down the cultural push to go to college to begin with so you'll have less people wasting time and money in colleges and out getting real world experience. A company hiring people to do a job will 100% take life experience over nothing but a degree.
If you lose a possible job to a fem major, you will 100% be better off lol
It doesn't stop anyone, even the government, from hiring the person that went to college anyway.
It just stops the parroting.
Over the past 8 years, I've hired about 50 roles, with the approximation of reviewing 10-15 resumes per role. To my recollection, I have looked at educational backgrounds only 6 times or so, and that's only because the role I was looking to fill was an entry level role with some applicants having had no work experience whatsoever.
Otherwise, I look at 4 factors: your work experience, how you fared in those experiences, why you are looking for a new role, and what can you bring to my team. In short, it's merit based. I don't give a shit if you have a degree in a related field or dropped out. I don't care. But are you the best person for this role? That's all that matters. And on the contrary, someone who is overeducated (i.e. 2 PHDs, etc.) is a red flag for me.
It doesnt stop them. Private companies have the option to hire who ever they want, and if they want to hire someone with a degree over someone who is experienced and know their shit, then that's their business.
This is only being applied to federal jobs as far as I know. Which in my opinion, is great. Right now i'm a federal contractor working IT. But with this new EO, it would allow me to apply for my job as a CIV rather than a CTR. I would make less money, sure, but I would be allowed to retire a second time (prior military) and I could potentially be collecting 2 retirement checks by the time i'm 50. And as a CIV, I wouldnt have to worry about my CTR position going away or having to go through the headache of moving my retirement plan over to the new contract.

This Cascades into private because gov contracts would require contractors to be pedigreed.
