Immigrants and other minority cultures should have the right to maintain their traditions, languages and practices. And we should learn not just to tolerate differences, but to be open to and affirming of them.
“In a multicultural environment, the boundaries of behavior and appearance are wider than they are in a single culture. But they matter less than the content of ideas and the commitment to values.”
Two five-year grants from the National Science Foundation aim to increase the participation of women and underrepresented minorities in science, technology, engineering and math disciplines, or STEM, at Oregon State University.
