"diversity is hardly controversial in academia. Everyone is in favor of it. I am, too. Perhaps a few think that my retirement may enhance SPU's diversity[; that w]hen I leave the faculty will be less white, less male, and much younger. Be assured that I am not offended. After all, when I became an Episcopal priest after having been ordained by the Free Methodist Church, I made both denominations more theologically conservative. This summer I will move to Idaho, at which time I will make two whole states more politically liberal. Not bad, huh?"Frank Anthony Spina, "A Professor’s 'Last Stand' for Diversity" (intellectual diversity, that is), Ivy Cutting, Seattle Pacific University, 7 June 2019.
