Abstract:
This article brings to light the insights gained from one accounting faculty member’s participation in diversity training, the corrective action taken to barriers presented, and a description of the evidence that the training resulted in positive outcomes for students. The article attests to the benefits to minority students from interaction with a diverse faculty pool, regardless of demographic heterogeneity. It is meant to provide support for increased efforts to a more inclusive environment in accounting programs to make progress toward a shift from under-representation of minorities in the profession, as the literature review describes.
