Thanks, ohsobored, for your very informative and thoughtful response. My daughter does still love and is considering Middlebury, but her concerns about diversity are a factor. Middlebury has so much of what she wants in a school-- strong writing program, languages, astounding surroundings and outdoor activities. There are several wonderful schools she is considering that have similar challenges in terms of diversity, not unlike the challenges the independent high school she attends faces. Through eighth grade, she attended a Quaker school, and she does yearn for a community that engages with diversity. How did the Middlebury administration deal with the incident last year? Are there new discussion groups on campus, or renewed efforts at understanding diversity issues in light of what happened-- or only a sense of dissapointment?
