^^^^Be nice DG. My soror doesn't know you, yet.
But to me a b-school best prepares its students for corporate America thrrugh its course offerings and internship connections. FAMU has this on lock, as does the real HU
and others. Hampton is still trying to get there. The media focus on this hairstyle rule, imo, will only cause those corporations to think about the superficiality of the program.
What got me, and maybe I read this wrong, is that it would be grandfathered to existing students who either have to change their hair or leave the school. To me that really isn't very realistic or fair to those students. It's changing the rules midstream.
And again are there stats to show those African American hairstyles affect placements? I'm not even talking cultural aspects, because I agree with you on that. It just seemed to me that Hampton is reaching to get it's program credibility rather than going through the strenuous, multi-year task of accreditation.
But, of course, I could be wrong.
Now I will say this, a protest from Susan taylor mean nothing to me, but that is a whole 'nother issue.
