Are you mostly impressed or mostly disappointed by the diversity at your school? I personally feel like I was sold a false picture.

Blk male. I would say “indifferent”. Even back to undergrad the higher I got in my program, the less diverse it got. So when I went for my MBA, I just chose a program I thought had pretty good rep.

I usually made a point to join primarily black student clubs. But generally, unless I go to an hbcu, I’m not expecting a super diverse student pop in any college I attend. None ever treated me different (that I know of), and I graduated and got a good job all the same. That’s all that really matters to me.

The entire concept of creating diversity through specific initiatives in programs incentivizes painting an overly rosy (diverse) picture.

This isn’t a diatribe against trying to increase diversity, by any means - I’m just saying that you’re always going to be sold a partially false picture and be required to assess how false it is.

Yeah I agree with this, I think it encourages people to overanalyze every student's admission too which I think is a net negative for the whole institution of higher education. Nobody wants to feel like they were brought in just by virtue of their diverse identity.

Care to elaborate?

Well it should reflect the community statistically… so what is the percent of black vs white that graduate from high school or who have a college degree (if you are on an MBA program)? If it doesn’t line up then there is something to comment on but without that data OP’s “disappointment” doesn’t mean much.

Generally there are more men on MBA programs. What is wrong with that?

I think OP meant racial diversity. I went to a top European MBA and my graduating class had 360 students from 56 different countries. Albeit, some were dual citizens of either U.S., France, Germany etc. who double dipped on country counts. Some E.U. citizens even triple dipped on country counts. But my class of 360 students had only four black students. When two American exchange students arrived in year 2, they increased our black population by 50%.

I'm almost done with my master's and right now we are discussing the knowledge gap that happens in 4th grade with our lower-class students.

Have you noticed this in your classes? I have but didn't realize why it was so hard to catch them up.
