Preferred term

diversity as a class and caste issue  

Definition(s)

  • An important root of diversity in an educational context is the University of California v. Bakke (1978) decision on affirmative action in college admissions. In that historic U.S. Supreme Court case, Justice Lewis Powell opined that the use of race in admissions was constitutionally admissible because diversity provides for the “robust exchange of ideas,” an important criterion for obtaining the educational benefits of a college education.
