Advancing Racial Equity

 

“We must act with speed and urgency to advance racial equity and diversity at HBS and in the world.”

— Dean Srikant Datar

 

We are resolved to take action to promote racial equity and diversity. We take seriously our responsibility to make business a force for good in our society. We know that structural racism has been ignored for too long. We hear the calls for the School to move swiftly to address the impacts of racism on our campus and in higher education.

And we acknowledge that there is no quick solution to a 400-year-long crisis. We must all stand together on the long, difficult, and vital journey towards racial justice, diversity, inclusion, and equity.

In sharing the diverse voices of our community’s perspectives on race and racism, we hope to leverage our collective knowledge, passion, and influence in support of creating a more just campus and world.
