Teaching about diversity, equity and fairness as part of a business curriculum: Can we navigate the riptides or should we avoid those waters?”

Diversity, EEO, Equity

Higher education is intended to educate, enlighten, challenge, and prepare students for post-graduation life. Management programs are also tasked with developing individuals to become future leaders and managers of organizations which are often diverse and increasingly, international. Adequate preparation should include an understanding of diversity, equity and fairness. In our current political and social climate these topics have taken on a controversial nature that can make it feel like being caught in a rip current. This interactive session is intended to open the discussion around how we successfully navigate these challenges. Participants are encouraged to bring ideas/resources to share.
