Yikes! Any advice for leading a meaningful discussion on this topic for this kind of population? Thanks! -- A primary issue is the  definition of diversity.  Ask the students which individuals or groups they would include and for what purposes.  A third issue would be their experiences with diversity.  A final issue could be the areas where diversity could be an advantage to them and should be embraced.  Unless they are unwilling to talk or are very homogeneous, their comments should give you plenty to discuss.   Riki Koenigsberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
