John Hasnas is a professor of business at Georgetown's McDonough School of Business and a professor of law (by courtesy) at Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, DC, where he teaches courses in ethics and law. Professor Hasnas is also the executive director of the Georgetown Institute for the Study of Markets and Ethics. He joins me to contrast the lessons of two of his recent articles on two different types of diversity in higher education.

Opening Monologue:
Happy Halloween! We're approaching the one-year anniversary of the Yale Culturally Insensitive Halloween Costume Email Controversy
Can top-down limitation on intellectual diversity become a bottom-up elimination of intellectual diversity?
Discussion:
-How faculty search committees actual work
-Faculty diversity is about gender, minority, ethnic backgrounds
-No effort to be inclusive of all ranges of opinion - political or philosophical
