...Capitol lawn, chanting, "Kill the bill." It was a dead-serious message, but on a glorious spring day, when cherry blossoms were just beginning to appear on the trees, the atmosphere felt more like a carnival - especially compared to the day before, when some protesters had hurled racial epithets at a few African-American members of the House. The crowd was stoked by regular appearances that lawmakers made on a balcony overlooking the protesters.

Diversity is valued, among other reasons, for its ability to provide different perspectives and experiences. In that regard, the University should seek ideological diversity when hiring faculty, in order to broaden perspectives and approaches within an academic field. This responsibility should also fall within the CDO’s job description...
