Vanderbilt Business is featured in a recent article published in The New York Times on business school curriculum changes, entitled Business Schools Now Teaching #MeToo, N.F.L. Protests, and Trump. Written by David Gelles and Claire Cain Miller, the article looks at how business schools around the country are teaching breaking news, including sexual harassment allegations, financial improprieties, and more.
These curriculum updates come on the heels of many recent current event stories that involve large companies, including sexual harassment at Fox News and President Trump’s criticism of Amazon. Business school professors are not only reacting to the news but also making a renewed effort to teach and discuss broader ethical issues in the classroom.
Professor Tim Vogus is quoted in the New York Times article, as well as multiple students from his class last mod. In particular, the article highlights a class discussion that Professor Vogus led about the controversial ride-sharing company Uber, and how the company’s “CE-bro” culture contributed to sexual harassment and many other issues.
Other business schools are mentioned as well, including Harvard Business School, the Stanford Graduate School of Business, the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth, and the Duke University Fuqua School of Business.
