Creativity required to solve issues of diversity

The word â??diversityâ? has always drawn crowds and sparked discussions. Last Thursday, the UW community held a conference on campus diversity. Hundreds of people shared their opinions on the idea of â??Inclusive Excellence.â? The heated exchange lasted all day long, but most of the talks were limited to racial and ethnic diversity. Even though this is the centerpiece of the whole diversity ideal, such a narrow interpretation might compromise UWâ??s efforts to diversify itself.
