At WSJ - read the whole thing.
The increased political conformism at universities may be traced in part
to the redefinition of diversity that accompanied the introduction of
group preferences, aka "affirmative action." Schools instituting this
policy never acknowledged that it conflicted with competing commitments
to equal consideration "irrespective of race, religion, or gender," or
that at least half the country questioned its wisdom.
The meaning of "diversity" has shifted from the intellectual to the
racial-ethnic sphere, foreclosing discussion of certain subjects like
affirmative action, gender differences and everything considered
politically incorrect.
