The university is therefore responsible to ensure that all groups feel good about how people of similar ancestry and gender are represented among the university's employees and students, as well as in the content of the courses. As the group composition of the student body changes, the content of the curriculum must change. The university should therefore seek to balance all hiring, admissions and course content according to racial and gender groups to keep the bad feelings to a minimum. Concerning course content, if traditional instruction focuses overly upon members of a particular racial or gender group, or if the history of the discipline is overly influenced by members of a particular racial or gender group, then course content and instruction in that discipline must undergo radical change to balance it out. All of the above create diversity.
Diversity is the key to the future success of the university.
Diversity is very fragile. It requires the proper environment in which to thrive. It must be constantly monitored by the university, promoted by the university's leadership and constantly discussed by the students, faculty and administration. In other words, N.C. State is fighting perception with perception. Surely, diversity is hardly a justification for those changes because N.C. State's diversity is self-evident.
