re: LSU Foundation diversity message

a number of years ago I received an alumni donation request about the same time the ergr newsletter came with a featured article about hiring a diversity director in engr. to further diversity. with a bit of digging I found that 95% of engr master and doctor candidates were foreign, female or minority. boiled down to white guys graduating with a bs had to go to work to pay the bills. foreign students were funded by their govt. and female / minorities got the scholarship support. questioning why the engr dept needed a new diversity director, I have since avoided alumni donations
