BIG STRIDES AT BLACK B-SCHOOLS

摘要

When Lucy J. Reuben took over as dean of the business school at South Carolina State Uni-versity six years ago, enrollment at the black college was in an eight-year slide. The university had all but ignored the small business school in favor of its popular liberal arts programs, and corporate recruiters were scarce. But Reuben, an ex-finance pro- fessor at Duke and Florida A&M and executive at Ford Motor Co., was determined to turn things around. First on the list: win accreditation. It would be a ticket to respectability, and without it, serious fund-raising is difficult.
