Problems in campus "diversity"
The word diversity often implies some sort of unity and togetherness, but that is not always the case. Unfortunately, diversity has the ability both unify and divide. There are many instances where divides and sects form on diverse campuses due to miscommunications and misunderstandings between different types of people. The forming of different sects often perpetuates the same stereotypes and issues that campus diversity is meant to dispel. Integrated experiences are needed to resolve these issues, but those experiences do not always occur.
