In light of the recent Supreme Court decision on affirmative action, Dean Costis Maglaras of the Columbia Business School (CBS) sent a message to the CBS community reaffirming the school’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. In alignment with the broader University, CBS plans to adhere to the ruling.

Dean Maglaras appreciates the CBS community for their ongoing commitment to these efforts.
