The executive director of Reaching Out MBA, an LGBT organization, says that some business schools have started encouraging straight students to attend its conference and job fair.
Matt Kidd told Bloomberg Businessweek that Rice University’s Jones Graduate School of Business sent a party of 15 students to Reaching Out MBA’s 2013 conference—only one of whom was openly gay. “He was forced to go around introducing himself as the actual gay guy so he didn’t get round-filed with the rest of the school’s students,” Kidd said.
