Harvard Business School Pledges to Tackle Race Issues

Harvard Business School said Wednesday it would boost its enrollment of Black students in future classes, hire a chief diversity officer and build more issues of race and diversity into its case-study method of teaching.

The new initiatives are aimed at promoting racial equality at Harvard Business School come three months after the school acknowledged past missteps involving race. Harvard, which has one of the most prestigious and influential M.B.A. programs in the world, said it intends to make conversations about race a...

Tackling racism by being racist 🤔

The thing behind the thing is the thing. Only time will tell...

Recruit, yes, but then figure out how to keep them.

Why must Everything be about race and ethnicity?Harvard will now admit and hire more blacks while rejecting Asians for admission. The big donors will still have access. Such hypocracy !

Note that hiring and recruiting are not the same as educating and will not automatically result in more qualified candidates. Are we ever going to look at broken public schools or just fix with hand outs?

Get rid of the humanities

ThomasSowell has pointed out this well-intentioned disservice before. Blacks will disproportionately fail out of Harvard where they could’ve (and should’ve) gone to a school more fitting, got a solid education and degree.

About time... bcz the world is changing fast...

Blacks fail out of college significantly more than any racial group. Harvard taking more blacks from a lower tier university only exacerbates that problem because that lower tier university will then pull even less qualified blacks to make its own internal black quota.

Harvard has salivated over blacks for fifty years with blacks having by far the lowest admission bar of any racial group. All this means is that the ‘ black bar’ will be even lower.

Harvard teachers are hired for professionalism, then preparation, approach with students certainly not for skin color ... Why is it only now and not for example with the BarackObama presidency?😎

HarvardHBS why only Black , how about Hispanics? And other minorities?

Why not accept the best candidate?

Why can you simply hire the most qualified students and faculty members?

Base admission on merit or your racist.

Sounds fair

Harvard being actively racist I see

Does anyone see a problem with the Ivies plucking the brightest of the black community away from HBC’s in order to meet some quota for diversity and to virtue signal? They offer full rides. I guess it’s great for the recipient. Working out how I feel about this.

There they go again, judging people by the color of their skin and not by the content of their character. Racists just can't help themselves. It is in their DNA.

Racism defined.

Seems like a legitimate qualification.

Yeah, I’m going to believe it when I see it

Wonder when are we going to have the same biased conversation about Latino and native Americans. Especially when Latino actually make a bigger sizable size of the population and higher education

Harvard to recruit more Blacks? Recruiting by agenda or quota rather than merit means, the reputation of Harvard in 50 years will be

Next step: recruit more gay students, and later more muslims students. What disaster of University

Lol, every single comment on this thread is filled with 'oh why cant they just hire on merit'? 14% of Havard undergrad students are legacy students (for the slow people, it means they are there cos daddy went there) Jared Kushner's daddy paid $2.5m to get him into Havard.

2 issues at stake here. First, does it mean Harvard has been recruiting based on race rather than merit in the past? And second, if Harvard hasn’t been racist, then are they adjusting admission standards to recruit? Both does not bode well for America.

What about the other minorities like Hispanics?

👩🏿‍🏫👨🏿‍🏫

Did anybody tell Harvard they've been welcome to do that THIS WHOLE TIME.

It is not about recruiting or hiring because you are Black, Latino, Indian or White ... Recruit and hire the best regardless of skin color

Isn't this racist?

Will Harvard now fall in your annual Best College Rankings?

Or how bout all races instead of just rich ass white kids

Racist

Will pro sports hire more white and Asian athletes. Let's play fair.

solving racism with racism, not a smart place

Hire talented people without any prejudices or biasedness and you would never go wrong in building a pluralistic and inclusive culture .

This is why people pretend to be black. BlackPrivilege

Black privilege

That’s a joke... it looks like a Brazilian company that opened its Trainee program this year only for blacks. This will just create a bigger racial problem.

that will solve all the problems regarding race in this country..more blacks going to Harvard

🤡🤡🤡

This is pure what we call Appeasement.

Asians need not apply?

This is actually racism

The very definition of discrimination. Wow.

Affirmative action is so racist

My kids will just identify as black on their apps. Simple fix

Isn't this counter to the EOE? Reverse discrimination lawsuits coming?

Racial profiling.

You Don't think so to focus on hiring the BEST without black white and oll. Every one is equal..!

How about HarvardBiz Harvard calling on all of those people whom deserved a chance and you said no to How about giving the new black students A FREE RIDE; you are only enrolling them to resuscitate your rep, whats in its for them, you want them to wash out

What ever happened to MLK’s desire for his daughters to judge by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. Racist

On the backs is the Asian students they will discriminate against.

They couldn’t make it on their own so let’s give them a handout. Seems fair.

wells fargo (i think) needs more blacks, apparently can't find qualified colored peeps

Shitty Ivy League !!!!

I'm glad I declined the full scholarship you offered me. Harvard is trash Indoctrination

America. We have Harvard problem. These alums serve Trump: PressSec PeterNavarro45 GovRonDeSantis tedcruz jaredkushner SecPompeo SenTomCotton AlanDersh SteveKBannon John Yoo All speak on Fox News as their primary outlet. All of them colluded w/Trump to lie to America.

So they’re gonna hyper-focus on it, look for racism in places it doesn’t even exist, and make everything worse. Got it

How bout we just hire and admit the best applicants. I don’t care if you are black, white, green, or purple. If you deserve it, you deserve it

More Asians in professional sports now.

Or we could realize that business school adds no value to the Republic or anyone and close.

Based off academic proficiency I’m sure

Oh what would we have done without them discriminating even more than they already do

Lol

Blatant racism.

How the F is it legal to give applicants advantages over others based on their skin color? Is someone going to sue them for it?

Harvard has had for over forty years lower standards for black admissions so I’m confused how low they will go?

Sounds like illegal preference shown for blacks

Affirmative action is racist.

Did Harvard ever return the government COVID aid funds it took, even though it did not need it?

All reactionary, which tells me they don't really care but PR does.

Are they saying black people aren't good enough to get there by their own?

Wow...watch out for the loud & angry haters!

I thought color isn't supposed to matter. Shouldn't it be pure merit?

Yawn....

Well, if this is not discrimination, then I can not understand the meaning of 'discrimination'.

Skin-color based recruitment will paint EVERY black person attending as an inferior token. This hurts those blacks who work hard and seek to advance on their own merits. This is the soft bigotry of the left.

In other words, further lowing the admission and graduation standards by race.

Racist.

🙄

Congratulations!!!Very well done!!! Best Wishes God blessing you all🇮🇳💕💥

Did someone ask Harvard?

teaching IS a profession which is no longer on voge and frankly out of date

Finally

Did they ever answer why they used to take nude photos of new students? Just curious.

Taiwan's race to save endangered plant speciesIn the forests and on remote offshore islands of Taiwan, a group of conservationists are racing to collect as many rare plant species as they can before they are lost to climate change and human encroachment. You knew about Epstein and didn’t report it when you had a chance. You’re worthless as an organization. Throughout all of human history plants and animals have come and gone having NOTHING to do with mankind's activities. The fact that today some plants and animals come and go STILL has nothing to do with human activity. Leftists are always 'clever' but they're never smart.
