They say Diversity, but do they really want it?

It has been a while since blogging and it has been a seriously busy semester. Part of the great things about being a student is how hard you work and seeing those accomplishments at the end of the semester. So what happens when you know you have done well at something and you are told you just did not do well enough to be part of something great? Think about it, you invest a lot of time all semester, put forth a lot of effort, and qualities such as people skills that are not taught! This University keeps talking about how much more diversity they want, but instead of seeing the whole picture of how a diverse individual can make a difference to bring to the students, they look at one final score that determines if you are in or you are out. Knowledge is power and you can teach students all the materials and information you want, but when it comes to that one on one session with another unique human being, it is important to have that touch of humanity. If a student just wanted information there is plenty of technology now in days where they can just get it through the internet. Students come in to see another human being because they want that human touch and they want that face to face interaction. I still walk into the same place and see little diversity and I still walk in the same place and see that the majority of the people are white. Sure you have your hispanic, your African American, and your one white gay person. That is 1, 2, 3...so I guess they are good. But where does the majority stand? If you really say you want Diversity do not just say, do something about it and find ways to go further! Or maybe they just do not mean it enough? What do you think?
