I attended the diversity conference early in the year. It was a “slow” start to the year. The conference was supposed to discus the advantages of having a divers school, student body and staff. The main speaker however deviated from this focus and began retelling his experiences at Stony Brook and how he tried and had some success in opening programs in Stony Brook which used a divers student body to their advantage. This experience would have been useful if he had suggested ways to implement it at Baruch college or to give reasons why the programs he started in Stony Brook benefited from their divers student body. He did neither. In addition to this speaker there was a panel of Baruch staff and students who made valid points about diversity and told more relevant information and opened new questions. Like the self segregation of groups from each other.
