"Educational equity demands our
closest attention. It is not only about race, but about creating
and protecting a fair and open campus environment which welcomes
and supports the diversity of people and ideas; about fostering
a learning perspective replete with multiple views and with
respect for differences. As we create our legacy—this region’s
future teachers, business and civic leaders, nonprofit
administrators, artists and scientists—we must try harder to
recruit, nurture and retain students who are representative of
this large and diverse region we serve."
