What can undergraduate business schools do to become more inclusive?
Ernst & Young recently released a new report called "Is your campus environment inclusive?" at the American Accounting Association's annual meeting in San Francisco, outlining four key action areas schools can adopt to move forward to more inclusiveness: institutional commitment and accountability; curriculum development; student recruitment and development; and faculty recruitment and development.

During the same meeting, E&Y also announced its 2010 Inclusive Excellence Award Winners - five accounting and business school faculty who were chosen for their ability to create positive change:
