Some of the students and professors we encounter every day may never fully grasp its importance. What worries us is that only a few students and professors will attend the conference. Although we don't doubt that those individuals who care about this issue can and are having an impact on TCU, we worry their efforts will go unnoticed or be misinterpreted. Every student, faculty member, administrator, alumnus and parent should want to make our university and our nation more accepting to other ideas and people. Unfortunately, that's just not the case.
Diversity is just a buzz word.
Conference officials are trying to reach a lofty goal. It's one they may never be able to attain, but we wish them the best of luck.
