The simple numbers - "54% of business schools require a course in environmental sustainability or corporate social responsibility, up from 34% in 2001" according to an article in the LA Times.

A step in the right direction? Or a fashionable fad? I rather think the former.
Some wider searches turn up a gew interesting articles and college pages:

The Sustainable MBA, Greenbiz comment on same story in a much wider context, an interesting read.
