According to a recent report by the World Resource Institute and the Aspen Institute, titled “Beyond Grey Pinstripes: Preparing MBAs for Social and Environmental Stewardship,” few of the nation’s 355 business schools accredited by the AACSB are adequately confronting social and environmental issues. The business schools at University of North Carolina, the University of Michigan, Harvard University and the University of Notre Dame were among those recognized for social and environmental commitments. Although UGA is not listed among the top-tier schools in the report, the study notes that UGA’s university-wide environmental-literacy requirement and other interdisciplinary academic strategies are helping to achieve these goals.
UC-Irvine medical school under investigation for selling body parts
The department of anatomy’s Willed Body Program at the University of California-Irvine’s School of Medicine is currently under investigation for illegally selling spinal cords from human cadavers to a local hospital. Officials were alerted to the possible illegalities during a routine annual audit of the department. St. Joseph’s Hospital allegedly purchased seven spines from the department director for a little more than $5,000.
