Good morning, Broadsheet readers! Women make progress in business schools, Denise Morrison tweaks an iconic recipe, and Twitter’s board may soon look less pale and male. Have a productive Tuesday.
EVERYONE'S TALKING
•Getting on board with diversity. With three directors expected to depart within the next year, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey is aiming to create a more diverse board.
