Hello everyone — Welcome back to Poets&Quants’ Must Reads, a quick, digestible recap of the top business school news, sponsored by CentreCourt, P&Q’s virtual admission events.
I’m your host, Kristy Bleizeffer, and I’ll be highlighting the most important P&Q stories you might have missed. So, let’s get to it.
Seven tenured professors at Harvard Business School, remaining anonymous out of fear of retaliation by Dean Srikant Datar, say his handling of the Francesca Gino case has rocked their confidence in the school’s leadership.
In a letter published in The Harvard Crimson, the professors accuse Dean Datar of violating the school’s norms of policy development by pushing through a new process to deal with professors accused of research misconduct without the knowledge or collaboration with the faculty. In fact, according to the professors, the new policy was in place for two years before ever being mentioned to faculty.
This has been a unraveling situation at HBS for months, ever since the accusations against Gino were first published in the Data Collada blog. You can find our latest story on our homepage, and all our coverage in the news tab.
All the talk these days is about MBAs having trouble finding jobs in the current economy. But 2023 graduates at one major MBA program have largely eluded the pain.
NYU Stern School of Business released its annual MBA employment report today this week, showing that this year’s grads found jobs at about the same rate as their predecessors, while setting new school records in both average and median base salary as well as average total compensation. They also flocked in record numbers to one of the industries that has reportedly been hit by hiring cutbacks: consulting.
Average total compensation for Stern graduates grew 3% to $201,714 – a school record, and one that puts Stern in good company in the $200K compensation club.

Europe and China dominated the top of the Financial Times’ latest ranking of the world’s Executive MBA programs, snagging the top 10 spots. You have to go all the way to No. 10 to find a stand-alone U.S. based program: Yale School of Management’s EMBA program tied with IESE Business School to crack the top tier of the ranking.
The joint EMBA from Kellogg and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology topped the ranking for the second straight year. In fact, the program has topped the ranking 11 times. It celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.
China Europe International Business School (CEIBS)’ EMBA based in China, Switzerland, and Ghana also matched last year’s result, finishing both years at No. 2.
