Faculty Diversity: A Business Case for Higher Education Success When the PhD Project launched in 1994, you could count the number of diverse students at major business school recruiting events on one hand. Today, after 30 years of systemic change, the initiative has graduated over 1,700 faculty members of color with an extraordinary 90% completion rate – nearly double the national average for doctoral programs. Even more remarkable, 97% of these graduates stay in academia. But here's what makes this story particularly compelling for university leaders: Research has shown that the presence of a diverse faculty is the second highest correlating factor (after state demographics) in attracting diverse students to universities. It's not just about representation – it's about institutional success and survival in an increasingly global economy. This episode of Changing Higher Ed® features Dr. Jeffrey Robinson, Graduate of the PhD Project, Interim Chancellor at Rutgers University, Newark, and Blane Ruschak, President of the PhD Project and Consultant with KPMG. The PhD Project is a 30-year-old initiative focused on increasing diversity in business school faculty. The podcast highlights the project's impact on diversifying the talent pipeline by providing mentorship and support to underrepresented students pursuing PhDs in business. Robinson and Ruschak share their personal experiences and explain the project's systemic approach to change, emphasizing the economic benefits of a diverse workforce alongside recruiting, retaining, and supporting diverse faculty. Key Discussion Points: The Origins and Mission of the PhD Project: Founded nearly 30 years ago to address the lack of diversity in business schools and the workforce. Aims to increase the number of underrepresented minority faculty in business schools, which in turn attracts more diverse students to the field. Driven by the recognition of a changing global business environment and the demand for a diverse workforce. How the PhD Project Works: Sponsors an annual conference for underrepresented minority students to learn about business PhD programs. Provides financial support, networking opportunities, and mentorship to students throughout their doctoral journey. Boasts a 90% completion rate for its participants, with 97% staying in academia. Continues to support graduates through developmental programs focused on teaching, research, and leadership. The Benefits of Faculty Diversity in Academia: Diverse faculty serve as role models for students, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds. They bring different lived experiences, perspectives, and connections to the classroom, enriching the learning environment for all students. Contributes to groundbreaking research and innovative solutions. The Economic Imperative for Diversity: Diverse workforces are better equipped to relate to a wider range of clients and customers. Companies benefit from the diverse perspectives and talents of their employees. The Role of Mentorship and Community: The PhD Project creates a strong support network for participants, helping them navigate the challenges of doctoral studies. Alumni continue to mentor and collaborate with each other, further strengthening the community. Challenges and Solutions in Diversity Recruitment: Retaining diverse faculty is crucial and requires universities to provide adequate support and protect them from excessive service demands. Universities must hold leaders accountable for diversity recruitment goals. Three Takeaways for University Presidents and Boards Invest in recruiting and retaining diverse faculty, recognizing the long-term benefits of attracting and educating a diverse student body. Provide necessary support and mentorship to diverse faculty, ensuring their success and protecting them from being overburdened with diversity-related tasks. Hold university leaders accountable for achieving diversity goals and creating an inclusive campus environment. Final Thoughts The PhD Project is a powerful example of how a focused effort can make a significant impact on diversifying higher education and the workforce. Its success lies in its comprehensive approach, which combines financial support, mentorship, and community building.

The ongoing legal battle between billionaire Leon Black and Jane Doe, who alleges she was raped by Black at Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan townhouse in 2002, has taken a dramatic turn. The case, which has garnered significant attention, raises questions about the credibility of Doe's claims and the tactics employed by both sides.Jane Doe, who is autistic and has Mosaic Down Syndrome, claims she was trafficked by Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell to other men, including Black. Her lawsuit, filed by Wigdor LLP, alleges that Black violently raped her when she was 16 years old. However, Black's lawyers have vehemently denied these allegations, suggesting that Doe fabricated her story and never left home at age 16.In a recent development, Judge Jessica G.L. Clarke of the Southern District of New York dismissed Black's request to have the lawsuit dismissed. Clarke ruled that the claims made by Doe under the New York City Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Law are valid and not overridden by state legislation. This decision allows Doe's case to proceed to trial, despite Black's attempts to discredit her.The controversy surrounding this case is not isolated. It is part of a broader narrative involving high-profile figures like Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, who were convicted of child sex trafficking. Leon Black's own involvement with Epstein has been scrutinized, particularly his $158 million payment to Epstein for alleged "tax advice," which has raised eyebrows given Epstein's lack of qualifications in the field.While the Jane Doe case against Leon Black continues to unfold, it serves as a reminder of the complexities and challenges faced by sexual assault survivors in seeking justice. The case also highlights the intense legal battles that can ensue when powerful figures are accused of such crimes.In contrast, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), the former CEO of FTX, has been embroiled in a different kind of scandal. His company's collapse led to a massive financial crisis, with billions of dollars in customer funds lost. SBF's case is more about financial mismanagement and regulatory failures rather than allegations of sexual assault.The stark contrast between these two cases underscores the diverse challenges faced by individuals in the public eye. While Leon Black's case involves allegations of sexual assault and the complexities of victim credibility, SBF's case revolves around financial accountability and regulatory oversight. Both cases, however, highlight the importance of transparency and accountability in public life.

How can Black women leverage mentorship and sponsorship in white workplaces?Black women's advancement in Canadian workplaces is not guaranteed – in fact, it's often impeded by negative stereotyping and experiences that lead to burnout and “racial battle fatigue.” To find meaning and success, Black women can intentionally build goal-based networks, look outside the box for the right mentoring relationships, and seek sponsors who recognize rather than minimize their cultural capital. Within organizations, being an ally means valuing and supporting this work while recognizing the costs of inaction.On this episode of Just One Q, Dominique chats with Rochelle Ramathe, DEI strategist and author of Black Faces in White Spaces. They discuss the importance of mentorship and sponsorship for Black women. She emphasizes the difference between the two, and shares how to leverage both when navigating white-centric workspaces.Keep Up with Rochelle:https://www.rochellespeaks.info/Become a Learning Snippets Partner: https://dialectic.solutions/learning-snippets/become-a-partner/Try Learning Snippets:https://dialectic.solutions/signupContact Us to Be a Guest on Just One Q:https://dialectic.solutions/podcast-guest

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (12/20/2023): 3:05pm- On Tuesday night, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that former President Donald Trump is disqualified from holding office for his participation in the riots at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021—citing his engagement in what they described as an “insurrection.” Consequently, Trump will now be barred from appearing on the state's Republican presidential primary ballot. The primary is scheduled to take place on March 5th, 2024. Jan Wolfe and Mariah Timms of The Wall Street Journal write: “The Colorado ruling disqualifying former President Donald Trump from the ballot puts a novel and highly sensitive set of constitutional questions before the Supreme Court, likely forcing the justices to intervene directly in a presidential election in a way not seen since Bush v. Gore in 2000.” You can read their full article here: https://www.wsj.com/us-news/law/colorado-ruling-knocking-trump-off-ballot-puts-supreme-court-in-hot-seat-de07e8f5?mod=hp_lead_pos2 3:25pm- Speaking with the press following news that the Colorado Supreme Court's decision barring Donald Trump from holding office, President Joe Biden said it is “self-evident” that Trump “supported an insurrection.” 3:30pm- While appearing on CNN with host Abby Phillip, Colorado GOP Chairman Dave Williams said that—in response to the Colorado Supreme Court's ruling barring Donald Trump from appearing on the state's ballots—he is prepared to change the state's Republican presidential primary to a caucus system in which voters would be allowed to support Trump.   3:40pm- MSNBC's Rachel Maddow claimed it is the mark of a “healthy democracy” to have “some sort of disqualifying process” for people and political parties seeking to attain public office. 3:50pm- Stefan Becket and Melissa Quinn of CBS News write of the Colorado Supreme Court's 4-3 ruling against Donald Trump: “In their 133-page opinion, the four justices in the majority acknowledged that ‘we travel in uncharted territory, and that this case presents several issues of first impression.'…The three justices who were in the minority—Chief Justice Brian Boatright and Justices Carlos Samour and Maria Berkenkotter—each wrote their own opinions dissenting with the ruling. They each took issue with various portions of the court's opinion, and expressed concerns about what they saw as a lack of due process for denying Trump's access to the primary ballot. In his dissent, Boatright said that the section of Colorado's election code under which the case was brought "was not enacted to decide whether a candidate engaged in insurrection." You can read the full article here: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/colorado-supreme-court-opinions-decision-trump-primary-ballot/ 4:05pm- While appearing on CNN with host Pamela Brown, pollster Frank Luntz said that the Colorado Supreme Court's ruling against Donald Trump ostensibly validates the former president's claim that the deep state is out to get him. Luntz also suggested that this ruling, barring Trump from appearing on Colorado's presidential ballot, all but guarantees Republicans rally around him—ending Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley's presidential campaigns. 4:10pm- In response to the Colorado Supreme Court's decision, Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick hypothetically suggested “maybe we should take Biden off the ballot [in Texas] for allowing 8 million people to cross the border.” 4:20pm- While speaking at a campaign rally in Waterloo, Iowa, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said that more needs to be done to stop the flow of migrants across the U.S. Southern border unlawfully. 4:25pm- During an interview with Jake Tapper on CNN, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) said that an estimated 270,000 migrants are crossing the U.S. Southern border illegally every month—which, as he notes, is roughly the size of the population of Pittsburgh, PA. 4:40pm- How much would the McCallister family trip to France in the classic Christmas film Home Alone cost in 2023? Natalie B. Compton of The Washington Post answered that question in her latest article: an estimated $28,000! You can read the full article here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/travel/2023/12/19/home-alone-paris-trip-cost/ 4:50pm- Is California the next state to bar Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump from their presidential ballot? David Zimmerman of National Review writes: “In a letter dated Wednesday, California lieutenant governor Eleni Kounalakis (D) urged California secretary of state Shirley Weber (D) to ‘explore every legal option to remove former President Donald Trump from California's 2024 presidential primary ballot,' given the Colorado supreme court's decision.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/california-lieutenant-governor-calls-for-trump-to-be-removed-from-state-ballot/ 5:05pm- Dr. Carol Swain— Political Scientist, Legal Scholar, and Author of “The Adversity of Diversity”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her latest editorial in The Wall Street Journal, “Claudine Gay and My Scholarship.” Dr. Swain explains that Harvard University President “Claudine Gay has been exposed as a serial plagiarizer,”—including Gay's failure to cite Dr. Swain's own work, “Black Faces, Black Interests.” So, why hasn't Gay been fired for her history of academic dishonesty?

Black people face many challenges when trying to ascend to corporate leadership positions. They may often be passed over for promotion in favor of less-qualified white candidates.Additionally, studies have shown that black employees are more likely to be disciplined or fired than their white counterparts even when they perform equally or better in their jobs. They are also more vulnerable to racist microaggressions or tokenism in the workplace. Those who succeed may also struggle to keep their position for a long period.How do they avoid all these? Our episode in And The Question Is provides a fitting answer. Together with our resource persons, Dr. Randal Pinkett and Dr. Jeffrey Robinson, authors of “Black Faces in High Places, we tackle ten strategic actions that will bring blacks into C-level positions—and help them stay there.We then elaborate on the specific traits and values that blacks need to embody and adapt to succeed in the corporate jungle.This episode is crucial because it is only when we see more black faces in high places that we can hope to create a more inclusive society and workplace. Topics Covered:Explain how black can get to the top of the leadership and stay thereEnumerate ten strategic actions that will transform black corporate leadershipIdentify the reason why self-determination is the number one anchorKnow the importance of systems informationGuest Bio:Randal Pinkett, Ph.D., MBA, has established himself as an entrepreneur, speaker, author, and scholar.

Diversity Matters with Oscar Holmes IV Season 3 Episode 2 Episode Title: Black Faces in High Places Guest: Dr. Jeffrey A. Robinson   Diversity Matters with Oscar Holmes IV is a podcast that explores all things diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) related. In each episode, Oscar and his guests have lively discussions around DEI topics, explore the latest research on the topic, and discuss the implications so that listeners will be more knowledgeable about the topics and be able to apply the insights to their lives.   Show Summary: “The Black Faces in High Places book is not just about getting your success; it's undoubtedly a matter of seeking significance and impact on our community, the black community.”   People of color sometimes find it challenging to succeed in corporations or institutions led mainly by white people because of systems and culture. The black community has so much talent, but discrimination and being outnumbered by white people can make it more difficult to climb the corporate ladder, which adds multiple barriers to dominating the competitive world.   And that's how the book was written twelve years ago by Jeffrey Robinson, the Prudential Chair in Business at Rutgers Business School & Randal Pinkett. It is where they shared 10 revolutionary strategies for playing & changing the game to transform the system not only for them but the whole community.   And in this episode, they talk about the new book, , which aims to help the black professionals reach the top and stay there. Listen until the end of the episode and be more confident in breaking down the barriers that prevent you from having a real opportunity to make it to high places. Know what's the importance of having a mentor, a great network, and how you can find meaning in what you do to attain success.   3 Exceptional Highlights:   Mentors help develop great entrepreneurs, great business leaders, and great community leaders. Ikigai is developing self-mastery and finding meaning in what you do. In entrepreneurship, the type of network you need to be successful is the entrepreneurial network: the sparse network that takes advantage of borrowing networks from other folks. Show Highlights:    How is your previous book, Black Faces in White Places, connected to your new book, Black Faces in High Places?   2:44 Jeffrey Robinson   Black Faces in White Places was level one. It's what happens when you enter the workforce & how do you deal with it. There are certainly some parallels between the two books because we had a lot of things we wrote the first time around that we didn't use and weren't able to use.    So we had already thought to ourselves, some of those things we couldn't write in the first book one day, we'll write in the second book. Finally, that day came. And that's how we got to the new book, Black Faces in High Places. Why is it important to have a game changer's mindset?   8:00 Jeffrey Robinson   You're playing a series of games whether we are in a corporation or academic institution. When you have achieved success in that game, you have to think if that's the right game to play for you & other people like you. The game changes when you start rethinking the system & how it's played to make it more equitable.    And if you can transform the system for the communities, corporations, and institutions to make the game better for those who are coming behind you, you have the game changer mindset.   What are the top three strategies that you'd suggest people focus on?   12:50 Jeffrey Robinson   Ikigai Networking  Mentorship   Is it possible that black people can do all the strategies and still not make it to the top?   37:29 Jeffrey Robinson   Some people change careers; they either start their businesses or hit certain ceilings in their companies. In contrast, some decide to focus on their families. But don't assume that when we say high places, it's only in the corporation because there are many ways to make an impact, be successful, and be significant. Technically, some people could do all of these things and still not make it. But the question is, did they see all the opportunities in front of them? Do they think about where they could make the most impact and use their skills best?  Important Links:     Call to Action: Subscribe to Diversity Matters and get exclusive access to all episodes of Beyond the Mill, which is my live diversity dialogues talk show that I host on campus at Rutgers University-Camden.    Episode Sponsor Links:      Producer Links:   Host Social Media Links:   Subscribe to Diversity Matters  | Google | |
