Ethics of listing degree(s) on resume

[dfrecore]

This would be very similar to how some in California list their degree from California State University & often when speaking of their school, say the name as Cal State. Some will ask 'which one' but most just keep it moving. I am a fan of using your school's name.

This is how I rank the options:

University of Texas at Permian Basin
University of Texas
University of Texas Systems

I've not seen this at all (for CA schools).  I just see people list the school with the city (CSU-Chico or CSU-San Marcos or SDSU).  But they do not just put "CSU" or "Cal State" on their resumes that I've ever seen.

Now, when people TALK about their degrees, they may omit the name if they are local.  All of the kids I know here in Escondido, if they want to go to CSU-San Marcos just say "State", and everyone knows what they mean because it's the closest state school (5 miles away).  SDSU is 30+ miles away, so they will say San Diego State or SDSU when talking about that.  They also just say "UC" if they're talking about UCSD, because it's the only UC school in the San Diego area.  If they are talking about a nearby UC/CSU school, maybe less than 100 miles away, they will say "Riverside" or "Irvine" or something like that.  But again, this is when it's in conversation, not on a resume.
