In the October 2008 issue, DiversityInc Magazine featured the five top colleges and universities for diversity management. Among the advisors for the survey was AAAA President Renee S. Dunman, who serves as assistant to the president and director of equal opportunity/affirmative action at Old Dominion University. Among the five top colleges and universities are: Cornell, Duke, Kean and Rutgers Universities and the University of California at Santa Barbara.
DiversityInc Magazine expressed disappointment that colleges and universities were "Nowhere near the level of private industry in implementing or measuring diversity management." The magazine surveyed 606 public and private four-year colleges and universities for their diversity management. Only 15 of these institutions completed its 91 question survey. According to Diversityinc., the five institutions "showed a consistent high level commitment to diversity in the four areas surveyed: (1) Human Capital (racial/ethnic/gender demographics of students and faculty); (2) President/Chief Academic Officer commitment; (3) Communications, including diversity training, surveys and employee resource groups; and (4) Supplier Diversity, including percentage and dollar amounts for contractors.
