What a diversity requirement should not be?
University of Nevada-Reno has a diversity requirement that blends international with ethnic studies with disability studies... too broad? The learning objective for the requirement is: "to prepare and encourage our students to acquire what has been called intercultural competencies (foreign language acquisition and cultural sensitivity)." This is not the currently faddish language of assessment of student outcomes- the class prepares and encourages just by being a class. What measurable result is to be attained?
