摘要

THERE IS NO greater rallying cry at American universities than that of supporting "diversity." On a near-daily basis, we hear of some new program that ostensibly furthers this value. "Diversity" is what we in rhetorical study call a "God term," which is considered so persuasive that, when a speaker or source successfully can link it to a set of events with ambiguous application, he or she can depend on the support of the target audience of the persuasion. The problem is that diversity is a God-term in the vein of "democracy" or "fieedom," in that many persuaders employ it to support phenomena which either do not reflect its meaning or whose referents are the antitheses of the term.So what does diversity actually mean? As applied by the website of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), diversity means that "Ihe Association is committed to use its procedures and to take measures, including censure, against colleges and universities practicing illegal or unconstitutional discrimination, or discrimination on a basis not demonstrably related to the job function involved, including, but not limited to, age, sex, disability, race, religion, national origin, marital status, or sexual orientation."Diversity, however, is not applied to discrimination against that which is ideologically on the political right None of the AAUP categories relating to diversity references "academic freedom," which the AAUP claims is central and "[indispensably is] conducted for the common good."
