It is a straightforward equation. Diversity ten years ago was bad enough to destroy any institution - but perhaps the concept sufficient remaining ambiguities or uncertainties that some honest and competent people might have failed to see the writing on the wall...
But diversity now is starkly revealed as a clear plan of destruction:
D. Diversity Defined.
Previous diversity plans have focused on race, ethnicity and gender, which remain critical problems for UW-Madison. We recognize, however, that to achieve Inclusive Excellence a strategic framework should be expanded to include additional dimensions of diversity. This framework defines diversity as: race and ethnicity; sex; gender, and gender identity or expression; marital status; age; sexual orientation; country of origin; language; disability; socio-economic status; and affiliations that are based on cultural, political, religious, or other identities.

This is from the University of Madison Wisconsin, which for many decades has been the major institution for graduate training in the US - and presumably the world - and is therefore a representative powerful modern institution at the ideological 'cutting edge'.
Let's just unpack that list of priorities for multiplicities:
- race
- ethnicity
- sex
- gender, and gender identity or expression
- marital status
- age
- sexual orientation
- country of origin
- language
- disability
- socio-economic status
- culture
- politics
- religion
- other identities
...and if it has any energy, resources or will-power remaining after getting all that stuff right; the UW-Madison can try to pursue whatever it used to do, you know education, scholarship, research... that kind of stuff.

What this represents is an end to the brief 'modern' era of functional specialization and a return to the primacy of religion/ ideology/ nepotism in public affairs - BUT with the critical difference that Diversity is an anti-religion, and anti-ideology, a nepotism which promotes everything except one's own family.
Diversity therefore equals destruction - it is the destruction of any and all religions (but especially Christianity, obviously) and of all positive ideologies by which I mean, ideologies that aim at a particular state of affairs.
Because Diversity can only be destructive: whatever IS is insufficiently or inexactly diverse. Whatever IS must therefore be destroyed in order to make it MORE Diverse. And there is no conceivable or measurable end to it. Yesterday's Diversity is today's intolerable lack of Diversity.

In sum: Diversity is the destruction of Good; and it is the destruction of all types of Good - however defined. All are chewed up and spat out by Diversity.
More exactly, Diversity is the promotion of chaos by the destruction of Good; and then the re-naming of chaos as Good.
*
But... The age of functional specialization is past and gone; it was a blip in human history; people JUST DO NOT WANT IT any more (as you will agree if ever you have tried to argue in its favour as I have, many many times).
The age of de-differentiation is returned.
This must be accepted as a given; as a fact.
*
So we have a choice - and only this one choice: the choice of religion/ ideology to which all institutions must conform.
The default choice - the prevailing and dominating situation - is the new Left, Politically Correct religion of no religion, and its anti-ideology of Diversity.
If implemented Diversity will destroy the functionality of all institutions, and then destroy itself. This destruction is sure and certain, and indeed fully intended by the architects of Diversity.
Or we can choose a positive religion or ideology.

Diversity (as practiced by universities) is type of Sophistry. It is quite literally a play on words where definitions are changed to suit the political and emotional objectives of a group tying to gain or maintain control. They appeal to good intentions, fair play and honesty while denying that those things exist.
It is just the ancient sophist resurrected and given a hair cut.
