Business schools have been criticized for their failure to inculcate values that would address social justice issues. Defensively, business schools faculty have just as stridently declared that it really was not their fault. They claimed, "We were only preparing students for the real world." (Verschhor, 2003). Unfortunately, this real world is viewed in terms of profits and returns whose influence is so strong that they overwhelm the other ways in which the responsibilities of business can be perceived. To address this need to educate for social justice, De La Salle University has committed to developing Lasallian business leaders who will work to endure inclusive growth, thereby addressing poverty and sharing prosperity. Therefore, Lasallian educators must realize how important their attitudes, perceptions and beliefs are in shaping their students minds and touching their hearts.
