Randall L. Stephenson, chairman and CEO of AT&T, No. 4 in The 2011 Fair360, formerly DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity, has no other words than “national tragedy” to describe the nation’s high-school dropout rate.
“When I look at our nation’s high schools and I see this dropout crisis, where one-third of our kids won’t be graduating with their class, it’s alarming,” Stephenson said, addressing more than 150 senior corporate executives at a conference on global diversity hosted by Fair360, formerly DiversityInc in Washington, D.C.
