Hmm, that's making me think quite a bit. It's definitely not the point I perceive in diversity efforts, if anything those try to make a certain group take note of opinions they wouldn't otherwise consider. This could be a big problem.

I think it's a valid and interesting point. However, she is still being exposed to other ideas. It would be interesting to study recent alumni to get a better sense of the actual outcome.
