It’s becoming obvious that “diversity” is a code word for hate whitey.
I’m sensing a common trend in your posts tonight.
diversity and multi-culturalism....more pc crap from the left.
The new affirmative action: diversity.
It is code for no standards since non-whites underperform whites (exception - Asians in quantitative courses). Programs let in students that cannot compete, the diversity would is screamed, and standards are lowered.
Imagine what will happen when Obama is elected!
And then they keep passing them in spite of substandard performance and the best part is that they get all this for free while "demographically similar" students have to qualify for admission and get tossed out if they fall below a 2.7 GPA and they get to pay through the nose for this very unequal treatment.
Merit or diversity. Take your pick.
Most MBA programs are strongly politically correct. Courses involve human resource management have a strong focus on diversity in most programs. Perhaps the programs do not have a “hate whitey” course. Diversity and international relations are strong themes of almost every program. This author wants to force diversity training (”hate whitey”) into the curriculum.
Close...
DiversityINC and organizations like it are nothing more than shakedown organizations.
This occurs early in childhood when the child learns there is a difference between self and other. Very basic stuff.
Ironically, the last true meritocracy in our country is professional sports, where performance is all that matters, and where minorities dominate.

Well, somebody’s gotta pay. ;> /s
They need to mandate the proper year-long course as a requirement for graduation in all undergraduate and graduate programs at all colleges and universities:

B/c maybe the author has -- or is a big shot in -- one of those pricey diversity training courses that way too many businesses get arm-twisted into holding for their employees? I don't know, but follow the money,
It’s perfectly true. They’re all full of money grubbing business types.
There is a much less publicized meritocracy in the US called "small business". Oh, the government tries to make some parts of the playing field not level through "minority set-asides" and other such guises, but the small business that sell to consumers and other businesses are pretty much merit-based.
I’m a federal employee in SF; my boss is gay, my coworkers are Asian and black and Mexican, my boss’ boss is female, my HR head is a Wiccan, and most everybody belongs to the union and is a crazy liberal loon. . .
And yet I work very well with all of them, conservative white GOP Christian that I am, WITHOUT any need for “diversity training.”
When are we going to get past the 1980s?
1. White American.
2. Indian/Indian American.
3. Korean/Korean American.
Most of the remainder are middle eastern, Chinese, or South American. I know one black guy in research.
