[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will take on the second part of the question.  Outside of the highly enlightened folks on DCUM no one cares about diversity.  People are tribal and want to be with people like themselves.

This is why you will see schools like Wake Forest and others that have tumbled in the USNWR stay the course because they know an ever growing number of students will seek out the traditional college experience over the current trend to have a highly “diversified” campus. [/quote]

Wow, your post sounds really bad and I think you were trying to be honest which great and I don't think you intended for it sounds so bad (or so I hope)

[quote]People are tribal and want to be with people like themselves.[/quote]   I agree with this part, I do believe people get with their tribe which is why I think have all diversity on campus is important.

[/quote][/quote].  What is a traditional college experience?  Schools have been integrated for decades with multiple races going to the same schools?  One where minorities weren't allowed or weren't selected or they kept their numbers really low.  I think when I university is heavily one race other races don't apply to it.  It becomes hard to attract them to the school because no one wants to be the only at the school.

[quote]Outside of the highly enlightened folks on DCUM no one cares about diversity.[/quote]  Diverse people care.  High achieving ones even skip top schools for other schools due to the lack of diversity.  When you are the majority you have the luxury to not care but when you are in the minority you care.[/quote]

What is a diverse person?
Like split personalities? [/quote]
