\"diversity training has little to no effect
on the racial and gender mix
of a company’s top ranks....
Networking didn’t do much either.
Mentorships did.\"
A Time magazine article
(\"The Diversity Delusion,\" May 2007)
looked at results from a recent study
conducted by sociologists from
Harvard, UC-Berkeley and the
University of Minnesota.
