Will the public reputation of academic institutions will suffer if "diversity" ranks along side scholarship as a criterion? What happens if there is a conflict between them?

And what happens if there is a conflict between scholarship and basic human decency?

Focussing on people's gender, ethnicity or 'socio-economic background' only serves to INCREASE the divisive nature of labelling them as belonging to one group or another, and doesn't promote an inclusive meritoracy at all. I've removed/refused to supply information about gender or ethnicity from my staff record. As for 'socio-economic background' I don't even know what that means, and as a 60yo I have probably outgrown any background influences and am standing on my own feet by now!
