When Paul Gorski, the founder of an organization called EdChange, visits colleges and universities to advise them on campus diversity, he has come to see a pattern. Initially, schools are enthusiastic,【C1】______their full commitment to ensuring their campuses are【C2】______of racial, religious, and gender bias. They【C3】______participate in surveys that measure students\’【C4】______of cross-cultural relations on campus. They【C5】______international dinners, sponsor diversity days, and spend weeks writing and refining diversity statements.
【C6】______when Gorski begins to suggest the work that he believes really【C7】______, for example, reevaluating policies, reallocating budgets, and【C8】______challenging the current situations—they stop returning his phone calls. They【C9】______someone new, and they start again. Since student bodies turn over so quickly, it always looks as if the school is making an effort,【C10】______they\’re actually just staying in the same place.
It\’s true that many colleges and universities make【C11】______efforts to recruit racially, ethnically, and religiously diverse student bodies with the【C12】______of creating an integrated campus where diversity is truly【C13】______for students, preparing them to work in a global economy and a society with different cultures. Some are【C14】______willing to fight affirmative-action【C15】______in the highest courts to get there. But, as Gorski\’s experience indicates, some seem to forget that the admissions office is just the beginning of the struggle【C16】______an integrated campus.
Of course it\’s hard for a university or college to purposefully【C17】______problems that they\’re not aware of. Biases and resentments are often suppressed below the【C18】______invisible to all but those directly affected. Gorski says that in 14 years on the job, his surveys have always revealed unresolved issues involving race and diversity— typically there\’s a profound difference between the understandings held by different【C19】______, with students of color reporting that racism is still a problem, while white students and higher-level officials【C20】______that there\’s anything wrong. \\
