Read MoreJames was credited with growing Emory's school faculty by 25% by the end of her first year, where she built an innovation and entrepreneurship lab that opened to all students. By last year the school had one of the most gender-diverse faculty populations in higher education, it said."This is an exciting time to be in business education," James said in the release.
MalcolmJenkins Congratulations to you! What an honor for you to hold ! Make us proud!!!
Cantguardmike When you're making history demographics matter. They matter A LOT. 1ST Woman AfricanAmerican womenshistorymonth2020
Maybe instead of writing that... U should have outlined how exemplary she is to win out extremely tough competition... She has been awarded this not because she is a woman of colour but she is deserving of this post.
... and...? Did we cure cancer...?
Great news

girlpower👊
👏
Wharton Trump is going to flip out over this!
Is that the same as colored person. Is my house a brick house or house of brick
Took only 139 years to get this done...
👍✅
It has reached that time the black child will be charged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin,
Sad
Black isnt a color If you say it is then White is too 'Person of Color' often referred as PoC is is discriminative term that leaves out White People intentionally. It intention is to promote 'Us against Them' mentality against Whites. Ps: Im not White & I GENUINELY hate Racism
Does that mean we get 2 c Chief Petty Officer Trump's grades now, or have they already gotten 2 her?
You’ve said nothing about her qualifications or accolades.
goldietaylor How do you decide which to place first? Gender or race? Have you asked her preference? You say she is a person of color. What does that mean? What color is she?
This may finally do Trump in!! wharton
Person of Color- Is it still relevant to be mentioned..
The liberal left are mentally unstable, making scene out of every situation. This shouldn’t be news. 👇 LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

Why reduce her qualifications by pointing out her skin color and anatomy? She deserves her spot because she was the most qualified.
Good for you I guess but your most illustrious alumnus makes me think very little of your school as an educational institution. Amazing a degree would be awarded to someone unable to write a sentence in English.
Release trumps transcripts!
Outstanding!
Let's hope she opens the grades from alumni up!
I'm proud of you lady
👏👏👏
You are still going on with your discriminatory stance? Stop using colour related words. We are all human beings. Talk of her achievement not her colour
说实话，我不太喜欢“有色人种”这个词，有歧视，高低分层的感觉！
Hey, how about we mention why she got the job, who she is, and how accomplished she is, instead of making it about color.
I wonder if CNN considers qualification a factor, notice how racist and sexist your story is. Focusing on color and gender!
Félicitations
Does it matter what gender/race she is if she's qualified? Can we stop with 'first person of color to...'? It's getting old. 'Obama was the First Person of Color to take a dump in the Oval Office.' etc.
Calling someone 'person of color' reeks of racism.
MonicaLewinsky Trump gonna have a heart attack lol
MonicaLewinsky I hope she releases trump's grades
MonicaLewinsky Does realDonaldTrump know this?
MonicaLewinsky This seems to be a racist tweet. Oh and misogynistic too
Good for her, she must be one brilliant, amazing woman!
She’s a Hot Dean🔥. I wouldn’t mind being on her Dean’s list. 😂
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾Congratulations
She’s beautiful
Maybe work on basic grammar and spelling? It appears an alumnus is not representing Wharton well!
brunelldonald Ring me back when the color and gender stuff doesn’t matter, and the achievement and efforts of the person are being celebrated.
I hope she is a revolutionary woman. We need all of them, now to create a new generous society for our grandchildren.
Think she'll release tRump's grades?
ConstanceIloh Release Trump's transcripts
What are her political views towards business, corporations, profit, incomes, and prosperity? Wouldn't that be crucial in such an institution?
She gat what it takes,Brains
2020 at last !! ✨🎉
Good for her
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Sounds like she is qualified. My guess it has nothing to do with her ethnicity or color of her skin. Right CNN
crazydiamond_pf A beautiful thing, and a beautiful woman. Congrats!
Should that make the headlines? I think the press is indirectly fueling racism, by trying to segregate achievement by race!
Person of color? What color? Red?Blue?Orange? Please, stop being afraid to call things by its name. The first black women to achieve it with her work and intelligence. The language would be different if the news were about a 'person of color' commiting a crime, uhh? Racist...
Virtue signaling bullshit
The top business school?
Excellent choice. Can Wharton overcome the stigma of Trump being presented with their economics degree.
Eventually they will not need to keep pointing that out; someday
That is a totally brainless job.
Let us not forget that fact that white is also a “color”... lol
That Magic shining thru
Best of luck!
A smart cookie, as well as a hot cookie.
donwinslow release Trumps transcripts, please. he demanded it of Obama.
IAmSophiaNelson I wish her heartfelt success and congratulations. I bet she has heard it before but please release his transcripts. Asking for a friend. No really it’s me but please a nation would be grateful.
Wharton has zero credibility since Lying Donald went there
Past all that is she the best qualified to do the job That is a much more important question we should ask.
MrAnthonyWood Weve seen the dunces Wharton turns out. More prestigious would be a fry cook at McDonald's. Maybe she can turn the place around.
Who gives a shit. Good, she got the job. Bad, that you make it about race. If you want to stop racism, then it works both ways. I once lost a baby tooth, and it was my 'first' one. There are a lot of firsts in life, so what.
the new champion of wwe is bayley
What kept them?
Good for her.
This is wonderful! Also, I wonder how she feels about burying the transcripts of former students.
In this day and age of equality (anti-race, anti-sexism) this headline is inconsistent with the metoo (or whatever they call it) hype, and all. Race and colour shouldn't be used as a tool to measure achievements.
so skin color and gender got her the job not skill
Should we be happy that she is a good specialist or that she is a woman of color?
Go blue!
Deserving that I am sure of. Congratulations!
Can you show us Trump’s grades? Either someone took the tests for him or daddy paid for him to pass.
WOW! Amazing!
Marston4ca42 Can she please release trump's grades?
Release the transcripts of Dotard Donald.

If you work hard and earn your way anything is possible! Good for Erika!
Hopefully that’s not why she was selected
Congratulations to this strong Black woman...I'm sure it wasn't easy.
Maybe she’ll release trumps college transcripts!
139 YEARS? And WHITE people say 'Get over discrimination and racism.' 'Stop playing the race card.' No people, it's been alive and well.
🥂🍾👍
Congrats to her, but did Trump approve of this😅😅
What about me? I ain't go no color?!?
Think she'll release the transcripts of DrTrump?
Good achievement
👏 👏 👏
