Report Notes Lack of Diversity in Leadership at FBS Schools: African-Americans make up 51.3 percent of the players on Football Bowl Subdivision teams, coaching and other key leadership positions at the schools and organizations that oversee those teams are “overwhelmingly” held by White men.
Those are the finding of a new report released Thursday by The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport (TIDES) at the University of Central Florida, titled The Buck Stops Here: Assessing Diversity among Campus and Conference Leaders for Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) Schools in the 2010-11 Academic Year.
The report found that overall, Whites hold 334 (91.8 percent) of the 364 campus leadership positions. White women hold 60 (16.5 percent) of these positions, while only 17 African-American men and one African-American woman hold campus leadership positions at the schools.
