Arcadia University President Dr. Ajay Nair was quoted in an article from “Inside Higher Ed” titled “Diversity on the Rise Among College Presidents.”

The article pulled the following quote from President Nair’s “Higher education must close its leadership diversity gap,” an opinion piece published in The Philadelphia Inquirer in 2019.

“Why is it important for a university’s governing board, administration or faculty to reflect the increasingly diverse student body at colleges and universities?” Ajay Nair, president of Arcadia University, wrote in The Philadelphia Inquirer in 2019. “To provide a more accurate representation of the world. To serve as direct examples of success for a diverse student body. To ensure that diverse viewpoints are taught, represented, defended and considered within university decisions. To help sustain universities as they move forward with an evolving populace, an evolving curriculum, and an evolving world.”
