""In this empathetic portrayal, Chan shows how student leaders in diversity-related college organizations make sense of diversity and use framing to further their interest in equity on campus. Chan's attention to religious colleges--often overlooked in studies of higher education--is a particularly important contribution.""--Natasha Warikoo, author of Race at the Top: Asian Americans and Whites in Pursuit of the American Dream in Suburban Schools. ""Provides an important window into the challenges facing students at Christian and secular universities trying to create and experience more equitable and just campuses by centering on the intertwined realities of race, gender and sexuality, and religion that are infused into the inequality regimes they must navigate daily.""--W. Carson Byrd, author of Behind the Diversity Numbers: Achieving Racial Equity on Campus. ""This pathbreaking study masterfully examines the concept of diversity by exploring how student group leaders and university administrators intersect in their stated goals. By addressing the question of diversity along the lines of race, religion, and sexual orientation, Chan argues that programs that focus on difference reproduce inequalities while those that promote equity can be more effective in alleviating unequal opportunities among students. This timely book offers valuable insights on diversity and its challenges for higher education.""--Grace Kao, Yale University
