In each of the cities he will visit, there will be meetings and rallies during which Mandela will thank the American people for their support in the struggle against apartheid.

LOUIS — The nation’s leading business education organizations are joining forces this summer to address several of the most chronic problems facing American business schools: the severe shortage of qualified professors and the almost non- -existent representation of minorities among graduating Ph.D.s. A recent study of doctoral supply and demand by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business indicates that the faculty vacancy rate is about 15 percent, nationwide. Worse yet are the numbers of minority Ph.D. faculty prospects. Of the business doctoral graduates in 1989, only 2.2 percent were black, 0.7 percent were Hispanic and none were Native American. A now six-week program designed to help alleviate both of ibesc shortages began June 10 at The University of Michigan in Ann ’ Arbor. The GMAC-AACSB Minority Summer Institute, organized by the Graduate Management Admission Council and the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business, is offering 30 college seniors of black, Hispanic and Native American heritage the opportunity to experience first-hand what a business faculty career is all about The pilot group, chosen from nearly 400 applicants from 150 colleges nationwide, consists of 15 men and 15 women — 19 black, 10 Hispanic and one Native American. The Institule’s curriculum of research-oriented courses in organizational behavior and economics, doctoral research labs in eight business areas, and weekly seminars is designed to expose these hand-picked minority students to the world of management acaaemia ana to encourage as numy as possible to become professors of business. All of the Institute's instructors, seminar leaders and teaching assistants are members of ethnic minorities. "Statistics on the growing minority American workforce tell us that we are in danger of not having enough managers prepared to communicate with and motivate a diverse population," said William K. Laidlaw, Jr., executive vice president of AACSB. "The Minority Summer Institute is one of the ways we plan to aggressively recruit future business school faculty members and minority role models for our students." Interest in the Institute had been overwhelming, according to Nicole M. Chestang, AACSB assistant director of cultural diversity who is managing the project. More than 2,000 requests for information were received from students across the country. "The high proportion of talented applicants made the selection committee’s job a difficult one," Chestang said. "The applicants had generally high CPAs, and many had taken a significant amount of quantitative coursework, including c^culus and statistics." The abundance of qualified applicants is one indication that there are minority students who could and should be going for Ph.D.s and that there must be other reasons for the shortages, she added. Students were selected not only for their grade points, which average 3.46, but also for a diverse representation of geographic locations, colleges and undergraduate majors. Sixty percent are business majors, 23 (Continued On Page 8) Overcoming childhood deprivations In studies of children from deprived backgrounds, certain risk factors turn out to be common among children who develop behavioral problems lasting into adulthood.
