The word "Diversity" has truly lost its meaning. The current definition of "Diversity" almost solely focuses on race/ethnicity and/or religion. However, the word Diversity should be all encompassing and include many things that make us different. Diversity extends to other issues besides race/ethnicity and/or religion. What about people who are physically handicapped, deaf, or blind? These are all issues that make people diverse. There is a term titled, "Invisible Diversity." It means Diversity issues that make us different that are not readily apparent such as people with learning disabilities, mental illness, or poor people (you cannot always tell when someone is poor or mentally ill or has a learning disability). Hence the term "Invisible."
Why isn't the university calling for more deaf or blind people? Why isn't the university calling for more students in wheelchairs?
I have no issue with a university wanting to become more diversified. I definitely think that diversity enriches education. Diverse people bring their own unique, lived experience, which is important for growth and learning. However, lets include the MANY different things that make us different, and not just race/ethnicity and/or religion.
