Extra Points for Effort
Skidmore College is not exactly the most diverse campus, but I would certainly give it bonus points for the amount of effort they put into diversity. The student body consists mostly of rich white students, but there are students from different ethnic and economic backgrounds. In the past few years, the number of minority students have increased as well as the efforts in cultural awareness throughout the campus. The Office of Student Diversity Programs has sponsored many panels, workshops, etc. on diversity issues at Skidmore.
On the downside, the OSDP can be seen as trying a bit too hard. Sometimes it feels as though the diversity issue is really shoved down everyone's throats. Diversity can lead to a heated debate at Skidmore, and it will interesting to see how Skidmore handles it in the coming years as the student body becomes increasingly diverse.
Skidmore is largely democratic, and there are a few religious groups on campus. The student body is generally very accepting regardless of sexual orientation, ethnic/racial identity, economic background, political beliefs or religion.
