thoughts on UCSD new diversity requirement

<p>I think that one of the causes is that when videos like the ‘Asians in the Library’* and ‘No means Yes’** pop up, schools fear that they will develop a bad reputation. They can’t really kick the few troublemakers out since that will also look bad so their only bet is to work with the student population as a whole. The easiest approach is to mandate more diversity classes because it effectively shuts up their critics and it might actually be effective on the student population. Either bigots will change their mind about Xenians*** after taking a mandatory Xenian Studies class, or they will simply refuse to go to the school because it requires the class.</p>
