"We definitely cannot drop the goals of affirmative action": a discussion with Dr. Carmen Neuberger, Gwendolyn J. Dungy and Joyce Smith - Panel Discussion

by Diverse Staff , July 11, 2007

But it has to permeate throughout the campus. The president has to talk about differences and how they will come together in a society - and live and work together. That has to be in the curriculum, and the curriculum has to be transformed. People have to understand that even in a celebration in student activities, we have to be very cognizant of all races and all ethnic groups at orientations.

I think you know whether you're valuing diversity when you look throughout the college and it doesn't become an issue. I think we're working toward a point where diversity does not have to be an issue - where it's such a part of the culture that everybody feels that he or she belongs.

Smith: But I don't know if we're there yet.

Dungy: No, I'm not saying we're there yet.
