"diversity" is not the reason it is the result. Education sucks because federal and state governments have too much control over it. They impose retarded standardized tests, common core, leftist initiatives such as NCLB, R2T, affirmative action. Education is NOT government's business. Like many other things education always turns into shit while in the hands of government.

Since 2011 colleges have received the majority of their funding from tuition fees, so far from being controlled by government colleges now must treat their students as customers. That means from a right-wing Randian perspective it is in colleges' rational self-interest to make it as easy as possible for students to enter and for students to stay on as long as possible.
