The Steps a University must take to insure cultural diversity in Cantor’s opinion is to “build on themes of diversity, not only in admissions and in recruiting, but also in creating living and learning communities that will produce a citizenry that is both engaged and informed.” (p.93) This statement means that universities should encourage and support cultural diversity not only through who a college admits but also by creating an environment where students get the chance to explore different cultures in order to better understand them. Personally I think that Cantor’s idea is to force diversity on students which shouldn’t be a university’s job. Cultural diversity can separate people because of difference instead of bringing people together through common interests or similar values. I believe the university’s responsibility is to provide a solid foundation for young people and educate them in preparation for the real world.
