"CSCO and NT are giving college students severance and job placement help."

I don't agree that this should cause any resentment. It's pretty standard practice and seems like the decent thing to do. After all, people who accepted a job offer stopped looking for something else and they now find themselves looking for another position after the hiring season is over and in a difficult market. They've been quite adversely affected by having those offers rescinded.

I think they're as much entitled to some help from the companies as actual employees.

And it's in the companies' own interest not to alienate people they would have wanted to hire if times were better. They may be trying to recruit these same people in the not too distant future.
