This is the best defense the Deseret News could muster for universities following David Wiley's opinion piece: "Chances are, a Utah State University graduate probably would fare better in a job interview if the CEO was a fellow Aggie. It helps to speak a common language." Yeah, let's take that old diversity argument, contradict it, stomp on it, and bury it in the ground. Sameness: that's what universities are defending. P.S. thanks to the writers at the p2p-research mailing list for copying me on their interesting discussion of the article. Related, in an ironic sense: what will successful universities look like in 2020?
