The whole article can be summed up as: "Colleges claim they care about Diversity, but one definition of Diversity is X, and we can trivially prove colleges don't care about X. QED colleges don't care about Diversity." It should not take a particularly sharp mind to identify the fallacy here: There are definitions other than X. Therefore the conclusion of the article is completely fallacious: we've only established that people aren't using definition X, not that they don't care about Diversity. From any sort of intellectually engaged opponent, I would expect some attempt to try and work out "therefore, colleges must have some definition Y that they actually care about" and an understanding that words can have multiple definitions. --- In places, the article doesn't even bother to check if it's debunking of X is actually accurate, either: it should be obvious to anyone who looks that quite a few colleges actually do care about socio-economic diversity (Point 2.5 in the article), and make a point of extending extra support to ensure at least a few poor students can attend. We have visa programs specifically designed to allow students from other countries (Point 2.3). Maybe it's not an explicit "Affirmative Action" program, but it should be obvious that colleges do care about these things. Yet the author insists "Of course, none of the above predictions are borne out" and "Conclusion: By and large, they don’t care about diversity. They’re just lying"
