Business Schools Now Teaching #MeToo, N.F.L. Protests and Trump<br />The Stanford Graduate School of Business’s ethics class — taught by two political scientists, one an expert in behavior<br />and the other in game theory — sounds more like a course in human nature than in finance.<br />The foundation has developed a tool kit for men, with tips like choosing a name such as “ally” or “liaison” to denote a sense of partnership, or using<br />role-playing scenarios about sensitive situations, like what to do if a colleague says, “She only got the promotion because she’s a woman.”<br />Two dozen schools have started groups based on the program, including groups called the Manbassadors, for<br />men committed to gender equity in business, at the business schools at Columbia, Dartmouth and Harvard.<br />“I would be kidding you if I told you there wasn’t a different vibe in the classroom.”<br />This fall, Professor Soule assigned coursework covering sexual harassment at Uber, how companies<br />like Amazon respond when attacked by Mr. Trump and the social justice protests by N. F.L.<br />“I’ve never taught a class where I’ve had students talking about gay rights or drug addiction.”<br />At Vanderbilt, Professor Vogus solicited ideas from the class about how Uber might change its ways.<br />“It can get pretty controversial,” said Aaron Chatterji, an associate professor at the Duke University<br />Fuqua School of Business who is starting a class about activism among chief executives.
