Cambridge professor Christopher Marquis published a New York Times essay on October 17 arguing business schools should be shut down and redesigned around societal impact, citing that about 80 percent of graduates of large schools go into consulting, finance or big tech. The discussion has moved to how the schools teach: case studies cannot be published without the subject company's sign-off, which over-represents winners. Wharton dean Erica James calls the op-ed a salacious oversimplification while conceding schools were complicit in aggressive recruiting. What remains open is whether the critique changes admissions and hiring or stays a debate about curriculum.
