Diversity Statement Analysis

Whether the University’s consideration of race is narrowly tailored to a principled, detailed diversification goal. A university’s approach, actions, and goals must be

Having served in higher education the past three years, I have grown in my appreciation for the complexities of colleges and universities. Specifically, I am fascinated by how institutions value diversity within their student population and among their employees. Over the past two years colleges and universities have had to confront their racist past to understand their student population. Christian higher education has not been immune to this soul searching. Christian institutions must recognize diversity as a biblical and institutional imperative to embrace institutional inclusive excellence. Diversity needs to be embraced for institutions to survive in a pluralistic and changing society. As higher education faces a tumultuous future, there is a heightened need for diverse administrators who can navigate and effectively lead institutions towards inclusive excellence.

While overall college enrollment and graduation rates have risen for all minority groups, there continues to be concerns for this segment of the population, particularly for African American students. Even

The concept of diversity is one that individuals may not think of when they think of nursing. Diversity is a major component to nursing and the care that is provided to patients. In this concept analysis, antecedent, attributes and consequences of diversity are identified. The following antecedents are: race, social economy, knowledge, gender, and education level. The attributes of diversity are individual, variety, perception, difference and civilization. The consequences of diversity are as follows; acceptance, decision making, cultural competency qualifications, respect, degrading, trusts

Did the Age of Jim Crow ever end? Americans see “race” as a defined, indubitable feature of nature. Racism- the act of ascribing bone deep features to people to then humiliate, reduce, and destroy them- inevitably follows from this inalterable condition. White supremacist ideals, for instance, espouse unfounded ideas that revere the white man and scorn those of color, while also serving as a nonsensical justification for practices such as slavery, racial segregation, and Jim Crow. In “The Trouble with Diversity”, Walter Benn Michaels dismisses the concept and veracity behind race, as if it weren’t a societal issue worth addressing. To ignore the reality of race would be the equivalent of ignoring the plight and shared experiences of minority groups. “The Trouble with Diversity” insinuates that “diversity” is incompatible with the society we live in; this does not mean that people of color should have to encounter racial prejudices, whether in subtle or discernible ways.

According to the text, diversity audits should be conduct by a selected department or a third party company. The reason why selected department or third party should conduct diversity audits is because it is important to secure the information. If the information that was collected during a diversity audit was made available to everyone , this can put the organization or company at risk of a discrimination lawsuit. Another reason why it is important to appointed department or third party company is that the company is protect by attorney and client clause.

INTRO: Prompt: What should “diversity on campus” mean and why? Hook: Does diversity help liberate narrow-mindedness? What exactly is diversity? To say that diversity is approached on school campuses is an understatement to the level of understanding in this increasingly globalized world. By its definition, “diversity” requires inclusion. Are school’s really working toward the inclusion of everyone? This means including color, national origin, socio-economic status, and sexual orientation. Looking at court cases and polls shown in the short articles, “Introduction from Place, Not Race: A New Vision of Opportunity in America” and “The Trouble with Diversity: How We Learned to Love Identity and Ignore Inequality,” their approach to strengthening

Before I began researching, I thought there were only four different designations for Minority Serving Institutions. I was wrong. There is a range of designations for universities qualifying as minority-serving. Under Title III and V of the Higher Education Act of 1965 between sections, 316 and 320 there are six different categories. In this paper, we will begin with the overarching point of understanding Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs). We will then break apart the primary four MSIs, the meaning, the purpose, and the progress and expansion of minority-serving institutions.

The equal opportunity that affirmative action provides has also increased the amount of minority applicants applying to each school. It has “resulted in doubling or tripling the number of minority applications to colleges or universities, and have made colleges and universities more representative of their surrounding community” (Messerli). Since the playing field has been evened, it has encouraged more of those who are disadvantaged because of their ethnicity to apply for and get admitted into college. However, the quotas cause schools to admit under qualified students of minor races who don’t meet the limit over highly qualified students who’s race has reached the limit.

Recently, Dr. Terry Echols- Program Director and Founder was recognized by Noel-Levitz for his outstanding commitment and success in the creation of the Minority Male Initiative. More institutions around the country have started to implement similar programs that focus on the success and retention of males of color including the creation of the Federal Title III Predominantly Black Institutions Grant which is currently offered at many community colleges. Retention, Graduation Rates and Academic Success are focus areas that should be addressed and improved, and the Minority Male Initiative provides a great model to research.

Every college strives for a diverse group of students to attend their school and Affirmative Action is one of the only ways to ensure this. When students with different backgrounds come together, they grow and learn from each other. According to Justice Lewis F. Powell Jr., ¨A farm boy from Idaho can bring something to Harvard College that a Bostonian cannot offer. Similarly, a black student can usually bring something that a white person cannot offer.” ( Anderson) Students of different

Growing up in two different cultures was demanding, however, it taught me the importance of understanding diversity and the significance of culture. During every sports discussion, my cousins always asked me, “Who would you root for if India played the United States?” The question trivial to many, weighed deeply into me because it felt as if I was betraying someone regardless of my response. Spending time at a friend's house listening to hip hop and playing basketball versus going home and listening to Bollywood music and playing cricket made me feel as if I had two different perspectives on society. Understanding the different ideologies of various cultures opened my mindset. The knowledge gained through family events like weddings consisting

The supporting side also believes that multiculturalism in education is an essential part of college. Studies have found that appreciation for diversity is lacking on college campuses. Evidence shows that among the growing tensions on college campuses, “multiculturalism

Within the core of many educational institutions, diversity is a commercial tacit. While every institution cannot offer the same kind of diversity, the endorsement of such exists through various definitions. The Western Association of Schools and Colleges define diversity through the various classes: race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, disability, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, and age (“Statement on Diversity”)

I liked this quote from the chapter because I agree with the author. I think it’s very important to make students aware very early on about diversity. Unfortunately for me, I did not get this sense of diversity until high school, and I didn’t get a full sense until this class. During elementary and middle school I went to the same private school where most of the students were white and most of the teachers were white females. It was also a Lutheran school, where we never talked about other religions. I know see this experience as hindering to me instead of beneficial. Not until this course, I never really felt sympathy for people who were different from me or I could never relate to them. If I have children of my own, I would try and choose
