“Boone was a polarizing figure that did not reflect the growing diversity of the UD community, but rather was an image that many women, persons of color, international students and faculty members found difficult to relate to as defining the pioneering spirit,” Chancellor Robert Coombe said in a March letter to the school community.

Well I can tell you someone is out of touch. In this regard, the alumni needs to remind this new “Chancellor” that his community does not refer to itself as UD. In fact, this “diverse” institution actually refers to itself as DU. What a Putz.

"“Boone was a polarizing figure that did not reflect the growing diversity of the UD community,"

Perhaps not. But isn't the purpose of a meaningful symbol to help preserve your identity in the face of a "growing diversity?" Boone symbolized a force in America, which made today possible. But that may be beyond the ken of this Chancellor.

Let me suggest something further. Consider how the Left uses the term "Diversity". It has become a cultish attack on the actual diversity of Mankind--a compulsion driven attack on what makes each nation unique.
