Diversity isn’t necessarily always good, even if this is treated like gospel these days. For example in less diverse societies it’s often true that there is more trust between people [0] and that can provide several benefits like more safety or perhaps a stronger social contract.
I do wonder if there has ever been any peer reviewed scientific proof that diversity does indeed bring the benefits you mention. Personally I think in an institution like a university it’s best to just bring the brightest minds together, that’s probably more effective than filtering people based on race, gender, etc...
