The definition of diversity is in the senate’s bylaws, and includes race, religion, sexual orienta- tion and disabilities, among other statuses. This is a well-meaning but misguided attempt to open the minds of students on campus. It is too vague to really carry any weight and is full of loop- holes. For example, how many events on campus are designed to actually “promote” diversity? EIUnity, as a group, and Unityfest, as an event, highlight diversity, but they don’t promote it. So does that mean that white senate members have to go to LASO or a Black Student Union meeting? Then again, if that member is heterosex- ual, then attending PRIDE would also fill that requirement. Who determines whether or not the meeting each senate member chooses to attend meets the diversity requirement? And according to discussion at that senate meet- ing, it sounds like senate members must attend a meeting composed of a social group they do not belong to. That doesn’t sound like diversity. It sounds like making someone feel like a fish out of water, which could only serve to further alienate that person from that group. This campus is only 10 percent minority.
