Abstract

In a post-affirmative action society, the authors are curious about how diversity might be constructed by universities outside of diversity statements. University of California institutions, for example, do not all have official diversity statements, but each institution has a Principle of Community statement. In this paper, the authors conduct a content analysis of how diversity, and identity more broadly, is framed in the University of California Principles of Community webpages.
