Univ. of Michigan Business School adds required diversity courses to business school curriculum

Campus Reform reports:
The University of Michigan has added a three-year diversity requirement to its Ross School of Business undergraduate curriculum that, among other things, will teach their students how race, gender and sexual orientation “connect to larger systems of power, privilege and oppression.”

The classes, which include “Identity 101” and “Entering into, Engaging with and Exiting Communities across Difference”, are mandatory for graduation and emphasize “identity, diversity and experience,” said Lynn Wooten, associate dean for undergraduate programs.



“We decided to make it a learning milestone experience and we talk about the value of being leaders,” Wooten told Campus Reform. “We truly believe that the 21st-century leaders should have cultural intelligence and the understanding of who you are as a leader and having better relationships with people because of it.”
Corporate finance, accounting , statistics, economics, and now oppression studies at business school! What a waste of time and money.
