THREAD: MBA programs have a diversity problem and we’re tracking it ⬇️ trib.al/qZkag9E
The historic national reckoning on race that was triggered by the killing of George Floyd has touched off a reexamination of corporate America from top to bottom.

So we created a Diversity Index to our @BW Best of B-Schools list. Here are the top-ranked trib.al/pXUajXL Image
Some takeaways:

- Fewer than two dozen schools had enough Black and Hispanic students to equal their respective shares of the population

- For example, Hispanic students made up 9.4%, about half their share of the U.S. population trib.al/W7nPjH9 Image
More:
- Companies that lack Black directors have been the target of investors and activists, prompting a surge in board appointments trib.al/W7nPjH9

Here's how historically Black university Howard is fostering relationships between students and corporate America:
- Some business schools, like American University's Kogod, have worked to increase diversity.

The proportion of Black faculty at Kogod has more than doubled since 2014, and since 2015 the share of Black MBA students has increased 47% trib.al/W7nPjH9 Image
And what about gender parity?
- Women had parity at only 5 of the 84 schools

- Notably, the percentage of women willing to consider an online degree vs. an in-person program rose from 15% in 2020 to 24% in 2021 trib.al/QqPzZ6p Image
“For many female candidates, Covid was a much harsher blow in terms of balancing personal and professional life."

Rahul Choudaha, director of industry insights and research communications at GMAC, told @BW trib.al/QqPzZ6p
