Summary note
Arguably the most transformative force in contemporary society is the commitment to justice through diversity. A prime example is the change justice through diversity has brought on who enters, teaches, and administers the university. It has changed the content of what is taught and the mission statments that define the purpose of higher education. What is rarely defined, however, is justice and how it is related to diversity. If justice is equality, are all differences in race, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, ethnicity, religion and culture equal? Should such differences be weighted differently and thus hierarchically? On what basis are those differences to be weighted and ranked to ensure equality? Contemporary scholars explore these questions and others in an attempt to understand one of the central commitments in the modern world. -- Provided by publisher.
