| [The College Fix] Cal Poly San Luis Obispo works on massive diversity and inclusion effort In keeping with the diversity and inclusion movement sweeping campuses across the country, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo recently released a 30-page report outlining plans to "improve diversity" via a series of initiatives. One goal is to increase the number of people of color on campus beyond the increases that have already occurred over the past few years, as "applications from underrepresented minority students doubled between 2008 and 2018." "In 2011, the campus was 63 percent Caucasian," the May 2 report informs readers, "in fall of 2017, it was less than 55 percent ... but there is still much work to do." The public research institution states it wishes to get those numbers more in line with the state’s percentage of white people, which recent polls hold at 39.7 percent of the population. |

| #7 we have been visiting schools lately for my kid, he's a 4.5 GPA pre engineering student and ALL the California schools, while seemingly excellent are in a period of massive decline coupled with massive expense, consequently we are bypassing all of them for other State schools that are better funded and better run |

| #5 Instead of doing the diversity by state, how about region? That area is whiter than wonder bread. Most Cali schools are failing now and if Cal Poly SLO isn't, it soon will be. |

| #2 Same mentality implementing 'racial diversity' that implemented 'racial purity'. It's just who's exercising the power. Merit be damned. |
