| Oct 31, 2019 at 15:12 | comment | added | gerrit | @Allure There is also a cultural and language aspect here. When a group of people go out to "grab a beer", it is (or at least should be) perfectly acceptable to join without drinking any beer. I remember reading an interview with a Muslim student who said he wish he realised this earlier. (My own undergraduate major uni in The Netherlands incidentally failed at almost all of the points mentioned in this post, when I moved to Sweden it was much more inclusive) | |

From my experience if you have a group that is too homogeneous, you miss out on a lot of possible approaches to problems that might actually be better than the ones you have learned in your limited eco system. | |
| Oct 31, 2019 at 10:50 | comment | added | Marianne013 | About the diversity: As someone who was a tiny minority of one (woman in a class of ~50) at the end of her degree, I would have damn well appreciated if not every person I encountered in a professional capacity was a 20 years younger version of the white male middle aged professors. Back then I thought it wouldn't matter, but 20 years on I know it did. It's very dispiriting to see that the same type of person gets hired over and over again, because they are the best fit by construction. I don't want any special handouts, I want a level playing field and it's not there. | |
