Donaldson suggested that those who wish to incorporate diversity into the classroom start by learning more about the contributions and experiences of other cultures, in the United States and beyond. That's the starting point for all faculty and staff. Broaden our awareness about the contributions of all. A diverse education is vital for students, Donaldson said. As we prepare students for employment, we have to recognize that all need to be multiculturally literate in this day and age.
Diverse people bring diverse ideas, which often increases productivity.
Most importantly, Donaldson said, there's a moral issue involved in a diverse education. If we continue not to address the problem, it can lead to the demise of a great nation.
