What you stated is called "networking".

Call it whatever you want, but in a good organization, it shouldn't be a factor.

If your company is passing on a more qualified candidate to hire someone from a specific school, I know we don't work for the same company.

And in my expierance, when hiring for STEM positions, the applicants from schools you do not traditionally think of as being strong in STEM knock their interviews out of the park. Alabama and Ole Miss immediately come to mind.

An under the radar one we're getting a lot of good hires out of is Belmont. On paper, you wouldn't think a Church of Christ Liberal Arts college would be producing absolute rock stars for Engineers, but they are.
