 **New!! *Murninghan Post* [Voices of Young People](http://murninghanpost.com/2012/02/03/campus-curricula-and-the-common-good-filling-the-gap/)**

***The TakeAway:* To inaugurate MurnPost’s “Voices of Young People” section, Joe McCarty writes about the failure of undergraduate business schools to equip students with the knowledge and competence necessary for building sustainable prosperity and justice. Students can organize to help fill gaps in the curriculum, and persuade colleges and universities to do a better job.**

We are currently witnessing a turning point in the way individuals, corporations, and governments view their impacts on the world. In 2011, the [Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement](///C:/Users/Marcy/Documents/2012%20Chronology%20of%20Posts/(http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupy_movement) exposed the frustration and anger of its participants and supporters over the way many businesses are run. OWS was and continues to be a contributor to the growing collective perception that corporations need to do better – both socially and environmentally. Because corporations are run by people, it is the people affiliated with them who must change their views and behavior about the purpose and function of corporations in society. This includes board members, managers and other employees, suppliers—even customers and shareholders, and others in the stakeholder ecosystem.

But one demographic that’s overlooked in the rapidly-growing, overlapping fields of corporate social responsibility, sustainability, and responsible investing: the people who are currently being taught in our business schools about how corporations are and should be governed and run. On this front, there’s a lot of work to do.
