Contested CSD - article creator and IP address repeatedly remove CSD tags. Non-notable essay which creator states is for class and has to remain up a month. No reliable sources, one ref to diversity progam at U of Wisconsin, one to unlated academic office. (GregJackP (talk) 13:56, 6 April 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Delete - class assignment with no indication of significance. Rklawton (talk) 14:08, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, agree with Rklawton. When professors assign writing tasks to students in terms of word count or page length, this is the sort of writing that gets handed in. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:36, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for lack of reliable third-party sources and borderline WP:SOAP (e.g. "We need to encourage..."; "We need to be more receptive..."). I share Rklawton and Smerdis of Tlön's frustration with student assignments that are more geared toward the need of the student or the class than the aims of Wikipedia. I would encourage students and teachers to see Wikipedia:School and university projects for discussion of best practices. Cnilep (talk) 15:31, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per all above reasoning. It appears to be an essay. --Pstanton (talk) 21:05, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the above; Wikipedia is not a place to post schoolwork. As to the independent merits of the article, it is on a vague topic, most likely a WP:CFORK from existing articles discussing diversity issues, and unencyclopedic in tone. Glenfarclas (talk) 21:33, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
