The Westerhaus Way
Roach, Ronald
Diverse: Issues in Higher Education, v23 n4 p32-33 Apr 2006
In 2005, the NCAA took a significant step towards combating one of the most consistent criticisms in intercollegiate athletics. Despite the growing visibility of women's sports and the abundance of excellent minority student-athletes, most of the top college coaching and athletic administration jobs have remained largely closed off to both women and minorities. That changed when the NCAA established a senior-level office of diversity and inclusion. The selection of veteran academic and corporate diversity specialist Charlotte F. Westerhaus to head the new office has boosted speculation that the NCAA could be ready to break new ground in getting its member schools to improve their hiring practices. This article reports how Westerhaus, since assuming her post last August, has convened a strategic planning committee to explore the issues and come up with strategies and recommendations for improving the diversity in college sports' power positions.
