Conference Spurs Participants To Consider Higher Education Diversity Challenges: Inclusivity was the buzzword on Wednesday at the annual Diversity in Higher Education Conference at Duke University in Durham, N.C. It permeated conversations of modifying higher education to more readily accept non-mainstream cultures, changing what people consider to be the color of the race problem, and making online education and technology more effective for diverse students. The challenge: making it all happen.
“Everyone seems to be onboard with diversity and inclusion, but the struggle is how to operationalize it,” said Dr. Benjamin D. Reese Jr., vice president of the Office for Institutional Equity at both Duke University and the Duke University Health System.
