It's unfair to claim "academia believes diversity is good" in this case. Nobody thinks all kinds of diversity are good. You could use the same premise to complain that universities are prejudiced against the "homicidal maniac community", or against the "comatose community".
- brighteyes 11y agoYou might be technically correct, no one thinks all diversities are good. But academia strongly believes in every type of diversity related to a personal aspect of a person - size, age, religion, sexuality, etc. etc. Political diversity clearly belongs there (in particular, it is often very closely tied to diversity of religion), unless someone very specifically excludes it.
