The writers were probably ivy leaguers predominantly. Seems like they wanted to make it clear that Cornell is a Joke.

its partially about cornell being a Joke but the larger Joke is the type of person who fails at life but thinks they're 180 because of their alma mater. cornell is the perfect school for that archetype because it's such a Joke though.

writers really transfered a lot of resentment (deserved probably) on this character from various annoying Types that struck a chord with me more than the other goyishe behaviors lampooned. "look at this Eternal Loser with a nice tie lmao"

at least Dwight's insanity was balanced out with occasional playboy moments

cr. im glad to see a positive take on the office since xoxo generally shits on anything with broad normie appeal. downwardly mobile, insecure blueblood is a great archetype that you run into irl but is rarely depicted in media.
