To the editor:

Several years ago the Faculty Senate took as its theme encouraging diversity. Our brain-storming session came up with a simple and effective (and also involving no extra cost) proposal for encouraging student exposure to and interaction with students from different backgrounds: assign first-year room assignment at random rather than allowing students to bunk with their old pals from high school. The proposal was sent to Student Government that vetoed it. The University buckled.
So much for commitment to diversity.
