Our world is rapidly changing. With that change comes not only a different view of the world, but also changes in languages. Various institutions in society, such as schools, have managed diversity well. Managing diversity is an ongoing process that unleashes the various talents that diverse populations bring to the community. Multiculturalism, as the art of managing diversity, is an inclusive process where no one is left out.
Diversity is the making of one group as the norm for all groups.
Minorities in Cal Poly are not that diverse. In a recent poll taken, 59.7 percent of Cal Poly students are white. The proportion of non-white students has dropped from 34 percent in 1995 to 26.7 percent in 2001. I'm not saying that Cal Poly is prejudiced, but with only one percent of our student population being African-American, Cal Poly needs to broaden its multiculturalism and accept more minorities into the school. Proportions of white students on campuses nationwide will drop from 71 percent in 1995 to 63 percent in 2015.
