Indian-American Harvard Dean Says Sorry For Gender Bias At Campus
Washington: Harvard Business School's Indian-American Dean Nitin Nohria has made an extraordinary public apology for the school's treatment of female students and professors and vowed to make changes at the institution.
Born in Nohar, Rajasthan, HBS' first foreign-born one dean, acknowledged to 600 alumni and guests at a function in San Francisco Monday that the school had sometimes treated its female students and professors offensively.
Nohria, 51, conceded there were times when women at Harvard felt "disrespected, left out, and unloved by the school. I'm sorry on behalf of the business school," he told a hushed room, according to CNN Money. "The school owed you better, and I promise it will be better."
Among other things, Nohria pledged to more than double the percentage of women who are protagonists in Harvard case studies over the next five years, to 20 percent. Currently, about 9 percent of Harvard case studies -- which account for 80 percent of the cases studied at business schools around the world -- have women as protagonists.
Nohria's comments, CNN Money noted, come five months after a lengthy front-page article in The New York Times fuelled a major debate on gender issues at Harvard and many other business schools.
