re: LSU Foundation diversity message

I just got a fundraising letter from the LSU Foundation promoting the LSU Office of Diversity. I understand reasonable efforts to diversity the LSU campus, but the Office of Diversity at LSU promotes discrimination in its actions under the guise of being in favor of "diversity." There is not a standard that the LSU Office of Diversity will set aside to promote its diversity message. Perhaps LSU alums should not contribute until the university provides more balance in how it manages diversity?
No where is it LSU policy to reject white applicants in favor of minorities.
The office of diversity essentially ensures there are organized activities and interests for students of color. It also assists LSU in recruiting/marketing efforts within minority regions/schools.
these efforts have paid off as they were one component of a multifaceted effort that lead to the largest and highest performing freshman class in LSU history
Times have changed for LSU. They need higher enrollment numbers to fund their operations. The enrollment numbers of in-state white students are basically topped off, growth could only come from increasing out of state students, and in-state minority students.

Times have changed for Louisiana. Look around. Big companies and high paying white-collar jobs are leaving or not coming. We have reached a tipping point with our demographics and I am not just talking about Race.

Diversity is a euphemism for “anything but white males” and you’re a fool if you still don’t realize it

Why is the Office of Diversity at LSU so heavily focused on race? More specifically, why are these types of departments so focused on, and overwhelmingly staffed by, African Americans? True diversity encompasses so much more than skin color. It also involves age, sex, socio-economic background, religion, and sexual orientation.

Question:
Does LSU admit every student that applies and meets the minimum requirements?

Jesus Christ, can you toe the party line any harder?
Enrollment is down compared to 5 years ago, and almost all of the increases in other ethnic groups is almost 1:1 matched with a absolute number (not percentage) decrease of white students.
So the quoted text is definitely wrong, with your first line of the post definitely coming across as questionable.

I can't speak for LSU's office because I didn't go there. But that is the basic purpose of diversity offices. Helping to ensure minority students find support services and ultimately graduate college. That is a good thing that I am on board with.
Unfortunately, most people who say they fight for diversity aren't really diverse at all. It often times lead to the same old pro-gay tranny, anti straight people who likes the sex they were born as. And also white people are the cause of everything wrong in the world, amd they must apologize for the skin they were born in in order to not be racist.

Are they too stupid to do this on their own? Seriously why is this needed?

Why is this necessary? Why is there a separate entity who’s only purpose is to reach out to minorities? Does the regular recruiting department leave them out? Nope....
