Yale,

Your email about the Communications Writer position was a masterclass in irony — a response so poorly written it wouldn't pass a freshman writing seminar, let alone qualify as professional communication from an Ivy League institution.

If your team can’t manage to say “we're a bunch of inept ignoramuses who wouldn't know humble talent if it crawled up our ignorant asses and camped out for eternity” with clarity and confidence, it's no wonder you're struggling to hire competent writers. Weak hiring teams hire even weaker talent — and based on this display, you're building an empire of mediocrity.

Next time, try using actual communication to communicate with a Communications Writer. Or don’t — but at least stop pretending you know what the role requires.
