CURRICULUM AND RESEARCH
Please provide information on any classes and concentrations that focus on issues related to women or minorities.
Managing Diversity Globally
In a global economy workplace, diversity is not a trend; it is a reality faced by corporate leaders, human resource professionals and management
consultants. Within the United States, immigration, migration and gender and racial differences have been major trends shaping workplace
composition. Globalization places additional pressures on managing workplace diversity effectively. In this setting, training managers and human
resource professionals to manage differences and adapt to multiple national and cultural contexts is an imperative. This course provides an in-depth
understanding of how managers and HR professionals can be effective in not only managing diversity in a global context, but also in leveraging global
diversity as a competitive advantage. By the end of this course, students will have a holistic appreciation of the tools necessary to implement effective
diversity management practices for a globally inclusive workplace.
Please describe any faculty and/or student research projects that focus on diversity, multiculturalism and/or minority issues.

Business council’s initiative on diversity
In November 2007, the business council hosted the first-ever Business Diversity Conference at the Illini Union for over 100 University of Illinois
students. The conference focused on the importance and the benefits of diversity in the corporate world. The event also helped students learn about
diversity issues that companies are facing. Sponsoring companies offered interactive workshops that addressed issues in diversity and inclusiveness.
The Business Diversity Conference reinforces the university’s and the college of business’ strategic goals in promoting diversity on campus.
The conference was the brainchild of student Priya Shah after her summer internship with Ernst & Young in Chicago where she had the chance to
meet personnel dedicated to promoting diversity awareness. Ms. Shah realized the great effort being put into diversity initiatives in the corporate world
today. She decided that her peers should be aware of diversity issues before they enter the workplace so that they can start their careers with an open
mind. This sparked Ms. Shah’s idea of bringing various companies together to demonstrate the importance of diversity.
The Business Diversity Conference was very fortunate to have Anthony Anderson, Ernst & Young’s managing partner of the Midwest, as the keynote
speaker. Mr. Anderson spoke about the importance of diversity in the workplace as well as the role it plays in the accounting world.
Women in Business Leadership Conference
The 2008 Fifth Annual Women in Business Leadership Conference, “Expand your Horizon” is designed to inspire and to motivate students and working
professionals to achieve excellence by becoming leaders who stand out. As current and future business leaders, conference participants are
encouraged to celebrate creativity, embrace risk and take actions that will significantly impact their workplace and their communities.
The speakers provide a thought-provoking exploration of the conference theme, drawn from their personal experience whether in an entrepreneurial
setting or the corporate world. The panel discussions give participants insight and the practical skills necessary to expand their horizon by managing
challenges and reaching vision.
Women in Business Society presents its Fifth Annual Business Leadership Conference for all seniors, graduate students and working professionals.
Overcoming Beneficiary Race as an Impediment to Charitable Donations: Social Dominance Orientation, the Experience of Moral Elevation and
Donation Behavior
Three studies examine the relationship between social dominance orientation (SDO), the experience of moral elevation and donations to charitable
organizations. Study one finds support for a hypothesized negative relationship between one dimension of social dominance orientation (group-based
648Vault/CGSM Guide to Business School Diversity, 2010 Edition
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
dominance) and white participants’ donations to the Black-oriented charity, the United Negro College Fund (UNCF). However, the study also showed
that being presented with examples of extraordinary moral goodness elicits an experience of moral elevation that neutralizes the SDO effect. Study two
provides further evidence that a state of elevation can be elicited by reading about morally exemplary acts. Study three replicates the findings of study
one using a different elevation-eliciting methodology. A seminar on the studies was hosted by the college of business in March 2008.
Roundtable: Women in the boardroom
In May 2008, the college of business hosted an influential panel and other female executives for an engaging discussion of the triumphs and tribulations
in rising to corporate board positions. What lessons of the past resonate in the current board environment, what are women experiencing on boards
today and what are the opportunities going forward? Speakers included: Doris Christopher, Pampered Chef founder, Ann Cresce, senior vice president
and general counsel for Chicago Climate Exchange and Jean Regan, president of Tranzact Technologies. Moderated by Randi Blume, vice president
of commercial banking, Charter One Bank.

Chancellor’s Committee on the Status of Women
www.oc.uiuc.edu/csw
The advent of a new millennium notwithstanding, the status of women in American society and its institutions continues to be a matter requiring
considerable attention. To address these multifaceted concerns and issues, in 1971 the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign established the
649Vault/CGSM Guide to Business School Diversity, 2010 Edition
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
chancellor’s committee on the status of women. Charged with identifying campus issues affecting women and recommending needed actions directly
to the chancellor, the committee has addressed such issues as health and safety concerns, undergraduate and graduate educational opportunities and
goals, sexual harassment, child care and policies, climate and procedures relative to gender discrimination in employment, promotion and career
advancement of women. In the fall of 1999 the committee produced a status of women faculty at UIUC report, which examines the professional climate
and employment situation facing women faculty at Urbana-Champaign. The committee is engaged in a similar study for academic professionals, staff
and students.

STRATEGIC PLAN AND DIVERSITY LEADERSHIP
Please provide your school’s diversity mission statement.
Transforming Illinois: Re-Envisioning Diversity and Inclusion
From the 2006-2007 Chancellor’s Diversity Initiatives Committee Report
Transforming Illinois: Re-envisioning Diversity and Inclusion emerged from the collective work of the chancellor’s diversity initiatives committee. The
committee proposes four thrusts to help transform Illinois into a pre-eminent leader among universities in the area of campus diversity and inclusion.
I. The improve education and workplace environment thrust is intended to create an environment of respect in which all members of the
campus community can thrive personally, professionally and intellectually.
II. The increase representation thrust is designed to increase representation of students, faculty, academic professionals and staff from
underrepresented groups in terms of recruitment, retention, graduation/promotion, decision-making committees/councils and upper
administration and proportional sharing of resources, awards, endowed chairs and recognition on campus.
III. The enhance scholarship thrust is intended to enhance diversity scholarship, particularly in terms of innovative, interdisciplinary research,
on critical societal needs related to diversity issues.
IV. The expand community and public engagement thrust is designed to promote diversity in terms of education, arts, culture, community
outreach and economic development.
The committee suggests three administrative officers should hold primary responsibility for identifying, benchmarking, tracking and rewarding progress
toward achieving the vision: the newly hired associate vice chancellor for student affairs/director of intercultural relations, a newly proposed chief
diversity officer and a reinstituted vice chancellor for public engagement. The committee also recommends that Transform Illinois be adopted as a
framework for the diversity plans for all campus units.
The four thrusts include 12 recommended goals and a series of corresponding initiatives.
How does your school’s leadership communicate the importance of diversity to your student body, faculty and administration?
The University of Illinois provides students with the tools necessary to succeed in a diverse work force and world.
One of the great challenges facing colleges and universities today is to create and sustain campus environments that reflect the diversity of our nation.
At Illinois, we are committed to the principle that a diverse community adds to and enhances our educational environment.
