The Challenge of Diversity.

Schweickart, Patrocinio

ADE Bulletin, n88 p21-26 Win 1988

Claims that undergraduate curricula show a tension between a commitment to diversity and a commitment to coherence. Argues that the issues of "minority" students--including Blacks, homosexuals, and women--must be included to teach the value of encountering, listening to, and establishing a connection with different lifestyles and perspectives.
