National & International News
- The Financial Post section of National Post looked at how women have increased enrolment in Canada’s leading MBA programs. The story noted that half of SFU’s undergraduate business students are women, as are more than a third of MBA students. “While there may be a glass ceiling at the highest levels in business circles, these barriers have largely been broken not only for students, but also for faculty.” The story cited a study of women in business by SFU profs Blaize Reich and Dianne Cyr, Scaling the Ivory Tower.
- As mentioned here last week, the March 29 Sunday Edition program on CBC Radio was taped at SFU’s Segal Graduate School of Business in Vancouver, with Michael Enright hosting a panel of speakers on the subject “Capitalism as we know it: Broken Beyond Repair?” The podcast now is online here. From Simon Fraser University, the panel included Ed Bukszar, associate dean of graduate studies at Segal; economist Stephen Easton; and Richard Lipsey, prof emeritus of economics.
