| dc.description.abstract | Racial tension running high in higher education, Improving campus racial climate, Inside higher education: Explosion over the N-word. These captions are but few of the many headlines referring to problems in higher education. They are also suggestive of a profound appeal to reshuffle higher education in the United States, in terms of multiculturalism. The same is true for today's workplace, where there are ongoing issues related to multicultural relations and diversity management. It is the writer's belief that addressing the issue at the higher education level would be very significant. Through case study research, the writer demonstrated through the examination of catalogs, how undergraduate curricula in the Management Departments of business schools chosen from a select group of BIG XII universities, relate to the treatment or presentation of multicultural differences in the classroom. The NVivo software afforded me the opportunity to rigorously and carefully analyze the data collected and conclude that the Big XII universities Management departments are not responding enough to the increasingly culturally diverse student population and their preparation for leadership in a diverse workplace. Full support of the university community needs to be encouraged as a means of effectively addressing multiculturalism. More has to be said than done in significant areas such as the mission statement, textbook choices, faculty diversity, and the Management department Dean's messages. | en_US |
