Study: college sports still trail pros in diversity hiring
Fox News
A diversity study for racial and gender hiring across college sports found little change in scores that continue to lag behind the professional ranks.
The numeric scores fluctuated slightly and remained at the higher end since researchers revised the grading scale for the 2015-16 report to account for changing national demographics. But they again trailed those of professional leagues reviewed in other TIDES studies: the NBA, NFL, Major League Baseball, Major League Soccer and the WNBA. And it followed last month's study that reported a significant "underrepresentation" of women and people of color in leadership positions at the Football Bowl Subdivision level of college athletics.More Related News
