Diversity & Democracy

Association of American Colleges & Universities (AAC&U).

It is more imperative than ever that those in higher education explicitly link diversity of all kinds - both in our pedagogical content and our educational environments - with the values of a democratic society.

The web-based newsletter was created to play an important role in creating and sustaining a community of leaders and learners who shared the view that diversity is inextricably linked to claims of excellence in higher education.
