This article features The PhD Project, an organization devoted to boosting the number of Black, Hispanic and Native American business school professors. In the 16 years since The PhD Project launched, the number has risen from fewer than 300 out of 26,000 to more than 1,000 today. After making an indelible impact on business faculty ranks, The PhD Project sets its sights on diversity among business school deans. Building on The PhD Project's success, several business school administrators have developed the Achieving Higher Education Administrative Diversity (AHEAD) Project. Founded last summer, the AHEAD Project attracted 41 professors at its first interest meeting. Organizers are working with groups like the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, a Tampa, Florida-based body that accredits business programs to create webinars.
