What does all this mean for business and higher education? Both should consider it a win-win situation. Corporate America reaches out and brings talented minorities and women to positions of responsibility and opportunity. The academic world cultivates career learning and placement opportunities for its increasingly diverse student populations.
And most importantly, minorities and women achieve in a work environment previously off limits to them. It is indeed the perfect scenario.
