Excellence is a quest for perfection, a constant striving to be the best. Diversity co-opts Excellence by lowering standards, accepting something less than best. One can not pray to two Gods. One seeks Excellence, or one seeks Diversity. The two can not co-exist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-34012097283158851432012-03-29T20:40:22.193-06:002012-03-29T20:40:22.193-06:00Old Pio has it right.

The DU administration didn't even know about the party beforehand. Did they have to respond in this way? Probably not.<br /><br />Also, I have to disagree with the editorial's comment about wealthy minority students or Third World industrialists' kids. There are plenty of those on campus-my friend roomed with a Venezuelan oil-man's daughter freshman year-but there are also plenty of minority students at DU on scholarships. I happen to know the president of the Native American Students group and she definitely could not afford to go to DU without a scholarship.<br /><br />I feel lucky to have attended DU. To be honest, the whole Inclusive Excellence thing didn't really affect me or my friends. It was sort of a joke we didn't pay much attention to. But I'm not sure it's really costing the school enough money that it represents the sole reason for tuition hikes. Yeah, tuition is high, but DU isn't the only university to keep raising tuition.Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866054728031956160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-4307336219539085022012-03-29T14:26:05.635-06:002012-03-29T14:26:05.635-06:00Lambda Chi had a party with Tri-Delt?
